Rutherford sustained a hamstring injury during the Paris Diamond League meeting on 6 July, which forced him to withdraw midway through the competition. British Athletics delayed announcing their selection for the men's long jump at the World Championships due to the injury, but on 30 July Rutherford's selection was confirmed after he passed fitness tests. At the championships Rutherford failed to reach the final, finishing 14th in the qualifying round on 14 August with a jump of 7.87m. In the autumn of 2013 Rutherford appointed Jonas Tawiah-Dodoo as his coach.

The new record was disputed by rival long-jumper Chris Tomlinson, who used video evidence to suggest the jump was illegal, but a technical panel assembled by UK Athletics deemed the video evidence to be inconclusive, and the record was upheld. Rutherford won the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in July with a jump of 8.20m. In August he won gold at the European Athletics Championships with a jump of 8.29m. 2015 In February 2015 Rutherford won the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix with a jump of 8.17m, a new indoor personal best. In June he won the Diamond League events in Birmingham with a jump of 8.35m, and in Oslo with a
