HISTORY

The cup is a 1906 trophy made by Carrington and Co. of London, which was a Victorian design of a 1740 cup by Paul de Lemerie. John Kendall-Carpenter, former England Forward and the organiser of the first Rugby World Cup and Bob Weighill, the secretary of theinternational rugby board also a former England forward, visited Garrard's, the crown jeweler in Regent street, LondonDirector Richard Jarvis, brought the particular cup down from the vault and showed it to both of them.

The current holders are South Africa after beating England 15-6 in the 2007 Final in Paris. The trophy was until recently on display in Newlands, South Africa, where it had stayed for two years following the victory. Last year it was returned to the home of the IRB, Ireland. It is currently on tour around the New Zealand Provinces along with the Tri Nations, Bledisloe Cup, Hillary Shield, Womens World Cup and the Junior World Cup trophies. It will spend the rest of the year in New Zealand until the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
