Rugby Australia, a privately owned entity headquartered in Australia, was founded in 1949. With approximately 280 employees, it reported $83.3M in revenue as of 2024. The organization focuses on contact sports and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. It serves as the national governing body representing all levels of Rugby in Australia across all eight member union states and territories. Established as a company in 1985, Rugby Australia is also a member of the International Rugby Board (IRB).
On March 9, Zac Lomax affirmed his commitment to rugby union, acknowledging he is a "novice" in the 15-man game but aims to become a dual international and play in next year's home World Cup. Earlier on March 9, the Queensland Reds and Rugby Australia re-signed Wallabies hooker Josh Nasser for two years, extending his contract through 2028 to strengthen forward foundations. Also on March 9, Rugby Australia confirmed discussions for a new AU$150 million funding agreement with Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga, designed to establish a regional competition structure for both men's and women's rugby. This follows Rugby Australia's announcement on March 8 of signing Lomax, a former NRL star, to a two-year deal with the Western Force, paving the way for a potential Wallabies stint at the 2027 World Cup. Lomax cited the opportunity to compete on a “truly international stage” and pursue a Wallabies dream as key motivations for the move.
