Since the inception of the Rugby World Cup in 1987, a total of twenty rugby players have been dual Rugby World Cup winners. The exclusive club had only six men until New Zealand's 2015 Rugby World Cup victory.[1][2] Of these twenty, New Zealand's Sonny Bill Williams, Jerome Kaino and Sam Whitelock have played in a record fourteen consecutive World Cup wins,[3] while Richie McCaw is the first player to captain his nation to two titles.[4]

As coaching staff, both Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith were members of New Zealand's 2011 and 2015 victories.
