The 2017 World Rugby Nations Cup was the twelfth edition of the World Rugby Nations Cup rugby union tournament, created by World Rugby. It was the first ever tournament to be played outside of Romania and without their national team, with Uruguay hosting the competition.[1][2]
Like in 2016, the tournament featured six teams split in two pools of three, where the three European teams; Emerging Italy, Russia and Spain played the other three teams; Argentina XV, Namibia and Uruguay.[3]
Hosts Uruguay won the tournament, the first time they had done so in five previous attempts. It is the third year in a row where the hosts capitalized on the home advantage to claim the title, with previous hosts Romania winning in 2015 and 2016.
