{{Use South African English|date=October 2023}}

South Africa have played at 8 of the 10 Rugby World Cup tournaments, having been unable to compete in the first two tournaments due to a sports boycott during the apartheid era, and have won 50% of tournaments in which they participated. Following the end of apartheid, they hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup and won the tournament, they were champions again at the 2007 tournament in France. The Springboks then made history when they beat England in the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan despite losing a pool stage match.{{fact|date=October 2023}} They again made history in 2023 when both finalists lost pool matches.

The Springboks have the most tournament wins at the Rugby World Cup - having won 4 times - although they have participated in fewer tournaments. In addition to this, they are the only rugby team to have won every World Cup final they have played in.{{fact|date=October 2023}}
