Rugby Australia said it was 2021, and was sold by NSW's plan to spend around A $ 2 trillion ($ 1.48 trillion) to demolish and rebuild three stadiums Sydney.
      

The state government, led by Prime Gladys Berejiklian, confirmed on Monday it would be to host rugby's global showpieces along with other major sports events to 2029 in an effort to generate A $ 1 trillion in visitor spending.
      

Rugby has a strong following in New South Wales, where the state capital Sydney hosted the final of the men's 2003 World Cup.
      

"We want to attract the world's best and biggest events right here in NSW," Berejiklian said in a statement.
      

"The benefits are not just for sports fans being able to see the best in the world, but for the economy and the economy will be at least $ 1 billion into the economy in visitor spending alone."
      

NSW said it would also bid for the 2022 UCI road cycling world championships and the 2023 women's soccer World Cup.
      

The soccer World Cup has already received support from the federal government.
      

The state also listed the men's and women's 2020 World Twenty20 cricket tournaments among its bidding targets, the events having been awarded to Australia.
      

The NSW government said it would be an advisory committee led by Rod McGeoch, who helped secure the 2000 summer Olympics in Sydney, to steer the bids.
      

Australia was sole hosts of the 2003 rugby World Cup and co-hosted the inaugural 1987 tournament with New Zealand.
      

Rugby Australia welcomed the state's back to their 2021 women's rugby World Cup before next month's deadline.
      

"Today's announcement … is terrific news for our game and sports fans across Australia," RA chief executive Raelene Castle said.
      

"The NSW Government's commitment to make this a reality, is welcome news and a strong vote of confidence in our bids."
