A historic competition

For those who’ve never heard of the Six Nations Championship, it is one of the most cherished events in the history of rugby. This championship is an annual international rugby union competition which involves six European nations: all the countries from Great Britain (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) plus France and Italy. The Six Nations tournament is the successor of the Home Nations Championship, the first international rugby union tournament, held since 1883. Initially it was played only between the four British nations, as France joined only in 1910 (and left for a brief 8-year period before WWII) creating the Five Nations Championship. Italy joined almost a century later in 2000, thus creating the Six Nations Championship and the format we know today. England is the current champion, having won last year’s Championship Trophy, and is also the record holder with 27 titles, followed closely by Scotland with 26 wins.

Last but not least, there are also a handful of other trophies being awarded at this competition. The biggest highlight goes to the Triple Crown Trophy that can only be won by one of the four British nations when one of them wins all three matches against the others. Although this has been yet another feature of the tournament that has been part of Six Nations since the very beginning, the physical trophy has only been awarded since 2006.
