The '''1999 Rugby World Cup''' was the fourth [[Rugby World Cup]] and the first to be held in [[rugby union]]'s [[History of rugby union#The professional era|professional era]],<ref>The [[International Rugby Board]] did not open up the sport to professionals until August 1995, after the [[1995 Rugby World Cup|previous World Cup]] had been completed.</ref> was hosted by [[Wales]], with some matches also played in [[England]], [[France]], [[Scotland]] and [[Ireland]]. Only four automatic qualification places were available for the 1999 tournament, which went to the champions ([[South Africa national rugby union team|South Africa]]), runners-up ([[All Blacks|New Zealand]]), and third-place play-off winners ([[France national rugby union team|France]]) from the [[1995 World Cup|1995 Rugby World Cup]], and the host nation ([[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]]) of the 1999 tournament.
The tournament was expanded to 20 teams (from 16), divided into five groups of four teams, a scenario that necessitated a quarter-final play-off round involving the five runners-up and best third-placed team to decide who would join the pool winners in the last eight. Qualification for the final 16 places took place between 63 other nations. The 1999 tournament saw the introduction of a [[repechage]], effectively a second chance for teams that had finished runners-up in each qualifying zone. [[Uruguay national rugby union team|Uruguay]] and [[Tonga national rugby union team|Tonga]] were the first nations to profit from the repechage, and took their places alongside fellow qualifiers [[Australia national rugby union team|Australia]], [[England national rugby union team|England]], [[Ireland national rugby union team|Ireland]], [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]], [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]], [[Italy national rugby union team|Italy]], [[Argentina national rugby union team|Argentina]], [[Fiji national rugby union team|Fiji]], [[Romania national rugby union team|Romania]], [[Canada national rugby union team|Canada]], [[Namibia national rugby union team|Namibia]], [[Japan national rugby union team|Japan]], [[Spain national rugby union team|Spain]] and the [[United States national rugby union team|United States]].
Australia became the first nation to win the World Cup twice, with a 35-12 triumph over France, who were unable to repeat their surprise semi-final victory over New Zealand.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/rugby_world_cup/history/2966114.stm Without question this ranks as the greatest game in World Cup history]</ref>

Wales won the right to host the World Cup in 1999. The centrepiece venue for the tournament was the Millennium Stadium, built on the site of the old National Stadium at [[Cardiff Arms Park]] at a cost of £126 million from private investment. Other venues in Wales were the Racecourse Ground and Stradey Park. An agreement was reached so that the other unions in the [[Six Nations Championship|Five Nations Championship]] ([[England]], [[France]], [[Ireland]] and [[Scotland]]) also hosted matches.
Venues in England included Twickenham, the home of the [[Rugby Football Union]], Ashton Gate and Welford Road, all rugby union venues. The multi-use sports stadium in Huddersfield, McAlpine Stadium was also used. Scottish venues included Murrayfield Stadium, the home of the [[Scottish Rugby Union]], Hampden Park, the home of the [[Scottish Football Association]] and the smallest venue in the 1999 tournament, [[Netherdale]], in [[Galashiels]], in the [[Scottish Borders]]. Venues in Ireland included Lansdowne Road, the traditional home of the [[Irish Rugby Football Union]], Ravenhill, the [[Northern Ireland]] IRFU owned venue and Thomond Park. France used five venues, the most of any nation, including the French national stadium, Stade de France, which hosted the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]].

==Qualifying==
{{main|1999 Rugby World Cup qualifying}}
The following 20 teams, shown by region, qualified for the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Of the 20 teams, only four of those places were automatically allocated and did not have to play any qualification matches. These went to the champions, runners-up and the third-placed nations at the [[1995 Rugby World Cup|1995]] and the tournament host, [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]]. A record 65 nations from five continents were therefore involved in the qualification process designed to fill the remaining 16 spots.
