It will be the fifth time the USA have qualified, and their reward is a place in the tough-looking Group A, which is also home to defending champions England, South Africa and Samoa.
Uruguay reached the 2003 tournament, where they beat Georgia but were demolished 111-13 by England.
In the African zone, Namibia booked their place in a play-off after defeating Tunisia 23-15 in Windhoek. They will play Morocco over two legs with a place alongside France, Ireland and Argentina in Group D at stake for the winners.
