# 2023 Rugby World Cup – Americas qualification

Qualifying for the 2023 Rugby World Cup for North and South America began in June 2021, with seven teams competing for two direct qualification spots into the final tournament and for one place in the Final Qualification Tournament.
For the first time since 2003 the Americas qualification process combined both North and South America to determine who qualifies as Americas. This is in different to past years where Americas 1 was a default winner between a play-off series between Canada and USA.

## Format

Qualifying began with two elimination matches between the bottom four ranked teams in South Americas; Brazil and Paraguay, and Chile and Colombia. The winners of this round moved on to join Uruguay in Round 2 in the 2021 South American Rugby Championship.
Round 2 was used to decide the winners of the North American region, a Canada vs USA play-off series, and the winners of the South American region, the 2021 Americas Rugby Championship. The winning sides, USA and Uruguay, then progressed to an Americas 1 decider to earn the right to qualify for the World Cup as Americas 1.
The runner-ups of the Regional matches then advanced to an Americas 2 repechage match with the winner of the repechage play-off matches, progressing to an Americas 2 play-off series against the loser of the Americas 1 play-off series.
The winner of this final match qualified as Americas 2, while the loser moved on to the Final Qualification Tournament as Americas 3.

## Entrants

Seven teams competed during the Americas qualifiers for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The Rugby Americas North entrants were reduced to just the United States and Canada, as holding the RAN Championship in 2020 and 2021 was not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
