Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union was introduced as a World Games sport for men at the 2001 World Games in Akita. Women''s rugby competition has not yet been introduced. The 2013 World Games are expected to be the last to feature the sport, as it will become a full Olympic event in 2016. The World Games, first held in 1981, are an international multi-sport event, meant for sports, or disciplines or events within a sport, that are not contested in the Olympic Games. The World Games are organised and governed by the International World Games Association (IWGA), under the patronage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Some of the sports that were on the program of the World Games eventually made it as Olympic sports (such as triathlon) or have been Olympic sports in the past (like tug of war). Participation in past World Games is included in the evaluation criteria usedto select new Olympic sports adopted by the IOC on August 12, 2004. However, with the current position of the IOC to limit the Olympic Games to 10,500 participants, it is unlikely that many of the World Games sports will be elevated to the Olympic sports.
