The 2024 World Rugby Awards Nominees have been announced with mostly names that were expected, however, there are one or two surprises in there.

- Women's 15s Player of the Year
- Men's Sevens Player of the Year
- Women's Sevens Player of the Year

After a superb year for South Africa, they have received three nominations in the Men's 15s Player of the year category. Lock, Eben Etzebeth, winger Cheslin Kolbe as well as flanker, Pieter-Steph du Toit are in with a chance at claiming the award for the first time.
The only other name in the hat is Ireland's Caelan Doris. It is hard to argue that it is a tight race between the three South Africans for the coveted award.
Below we have all the categories with the nominations below it. Only form and performances for national sides are considered for these awards. Not club results or performances are taken into account.
