You would have to 'bounce' it off a VERY large planet - something the size of Jupiter should do it.
Of course then the Gravity would squish the rubber Earth flat ... but what the heck ..
You need to know the modus of elasticity for the rubber ball earth,
the gravitational force between Earth and the 'ground'
the & the initial height from which you intend to 'drop' the Earth ..

Depends on what it strikes. For example, even a bouncy ball will simply sink (without any bouncing) in a liquid or gel.

Zori, it vil neve be e vownzy bell, it zil vreak in ze peezez. Have you seen an asteriod getting contact into earth, yes in the movies where tidal waves where generated?
Our planet is 75% (approx) made of water and its very soft to bounce. Also, had anybody seen any floor in the universe where it can bounce? The right term is COLLIDE me zer.
I think there is a planet that bounces, and it is called the RUBBEARTH hehehe.
Just making you happy, cheers....

That would depend on the mass of the Earth, and the height at which the Earth was dropped... these are the factors which affect the height of the bounce of the Earth when dropped.

IT would not Bounce At ALL!
I think it would Break Apart like a Pot, cuz its Hollow from the Inside and Filled only with Molten Lava (or something like that).
The Crust is Only a Few Kilometers (or maybe a few Hundred) and it can Crack Quite Easily, infact its already Cracked (Geologists Call it "Plate Tectonics")

To Heaven and back !
I wish the Earth was a bouncy ball, I wish the Earth was a bouncy ball, I wish the Earth was a bouncy ball........
Fun Question !

Since the earth is in a vacuum, with no air resistance, it would bounce to the same height it was dropped from.

It all depends on the initial velocity with which it is bouncing otherwise gravitational force would outweigh its initial velocity.
Hope this helps.

Bounce off what?

The way it is today it would probably bounce all the way to hell.
