In the run up to the kick-off of the 2011 Rugby World Cup, the International Rugby Board has released an official Rugby World Cup 2011 App.

The app is available as a free download for BlackBerry, PlayBook, iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone 7.

Tournament Web manager, Dominic Kelly, says: “Rugby World Cup 2011 will be the first truly 'social' tournament. We have a Facebook page with over 1.1 million likes, a dedicated Twitter page, YouTube channel and now an official App to ensure that fans attending the tournament or following from their homes will be able to interact with Rugby World Cup 2011.”

The app will have live match text commentary and score updates, as well as half-time and full-time video highlights, news and statistics.

The BlackBerry smartphone version of the app includes native calendar and messaging integration with automatic match reminders.

The application is available from BlackBerry App World, iTunes and here.
