Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup History
Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup -History – The Webb Ellis Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of the Rugby World Cup, the premier competition in men’s international rugby union.
The Cup is named after William Webb Ellis, who is often credited as the inventor of rugby football. The trophy is silver-gilt and has been presented to the winner of the Rugby World Cup since the first competition in 1987.
The 38-centimetre trophy weighs 4.5 kg, is gilded silver and is supported by two cast scroll handles. On one handle there is a head of a satyr, on the other there is the head of a nymph.
On the face of the trophy, the words International Rugby Football Board and below that arch The Webb Ellis Cup are engraved. The Webb Ellis Cup is also referred to (incorrectly) as the “Webb Ellis Trophy” or colloquially as “Bill”, a nickname coined by the 1991 Rugby World Cup winners, the Wallabies.
There are two official Webb Ellis Cups, which are used interchangeably. One cup is a 1906 trophy made by Carrington and Co. of London, which was a Victorian design of a 1740s cup by Paul de Lamerie, while the other is a 1986 replica.[2]
John Kendall-Carpenter, former England forward and the organizer of the first Rugby World Cup and Bob Weighill, the secretary of the International Rugby Board also a former England forward, visited Garrard & Co, the crown jeweller in Regent Street, London.
Director Richard Jarvis, brought the particular cup down from the vault and showed it to both of them.
It was chosen for use in February 1987. Ronnie Dawson of Ireland, Keith Rowlands of Wales, Bob Stuart and Dick Littlejohn of New Zealand and the Australians Nick Shehadie and Ross Turnbull approved of the choice of the trophy.
The trophy is cared for and restored after each tournament by silversmiths Thomas Lyte.
The current holders are New Zealand after beating Australia 34–17 in the 2015 Final in England.
The trophy was on display in Newlands, South Africa until 2007, where it had stayed for two years following their victory. Later it was returned to the home of World Rugby, Ireland.
One cup recently went on tour around the New Zealand provinces along with the Dave Gallaher Trophy, Bledisloe Cup, Hillary Shield, Women’s World Cup, Rugby Sevens World Series and the Junior World Cup trophies.
