The William Webb Ellis Cup is named after William Webb Ellis, a 19th-century Englishman credited with inventing the game of rugby. According to popular legend, during a football match at Rugby School in 1823, he picked up the ball and ran with it, thus creating the distinctive aspect of rugby. The cup is awarded to the winner of the Rugby World Cup, which was first held in 1987. This naming honors Ellis's contribution to the sport's history.
In 1823, William Webb Ellis, a student at Rugby School in England, famously picked up the ball during a game of football and ran with it, thus creating the concept of rugby. This act of carrying the ball was against the rules of the time, which typically allowed only for kicking. His actions are often cited as a pivotal moment in the development of rugby as a distinct sport. Webb Ellis is commemorated for this innovation, which ultimately led to the establishment of rugby union.
