2011 Rugby World Cup - Europe qualification

2011 Rugby World Cup - Europe qualification

In the European Regional Rugby World Cup Qualifying, two teams will qualify directly to the world cup and the third place team will enter a playoff against the second place African team.

The Qualification process is primarily based around the 2008-2010 European Nations Cup. The top two teams in the 2008-2010 European Nations Cup First Division will qualify directly to New Zealand.

The third placed team will enter a playoff series against the champions of Division 2A, and the leaders of the remaining divisions (excluding 3D) as of the end of the 2008-2009 season. The winner of this playoff will then enter a playoff to decide the 20th place at Rugby World Cup 2011.
