2023 World Rugby Under 20 Championship

The 2023 World Rugby Under 20 Championship (previously the Junior World Championship) is the international rugby competition for the Under-20 players in the IRB nations. It is run by World Rugby, formerly the IRB, the International Rugby Board, which is the organisation that governs and controls the game of rugby throughout the world.

The 2023 Championship would be the first to be held since the last tournament in 2019, due to pandemic disruptions.

In 2023 the World Rugby Under 20 Championship will be held in South Africa and there are 12 teams taking part. They play in 3 pools of 4 teams. Games will be played in Paarl, Stellenbosch and Wellington.
