Twickenham Stadium is the home of England Rugby and the largest dedicated rugby union venue in the world. Known as the "Cabbage Patch" due to the market gardens that previously occupied the site, it has hosted Rugby World Cup finals, Six Nations matches, and Premiership finals. The stadium underwent major redevelopment between 2005 and 2006, adding the South Stand and increasing capacity. It is owned by the Rugby Football Union and serves as their headquarters.
