World Rugby Men's 15s Dream Team of the Year was first presented in 2021 by World Rugby. The award is open to all men's 15s players who have played international test matches in the voting year.[1] They are voted by a panel of international past players and coaches, World Rugby Hall of Fame inductees and the rugby media.

The 2021 panel was composed of Maggie Alphonsi (ENG), Fiona Coghlan (IRE), Thierry Dusautoir (FRA), George Gregan (AUS), Richie McCaw (NZL), Brian O'Driscoll (IRE), Melodie Robinson (NZL), John Smit (RSA), and the 2003 Coach of the Year, Sir Clive Woodward (ENG). In 2021, England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales each had one player selected; Australia had two, New Zealand had three, and South Africa had the majority of five.[2][3] Four of the Men's 15s Player of the Year nominees were included. The players selected had a combined 850 caps.[4][5][6][7]

As of 2025, Will Jordan is the only player to have been selected for all five World Rugby Dream Teams of the Year.
