About our Six Nations Rugby news
Latest news on Six Nations Rugby, the Guinness Men's Six Nations, featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.
The Six Nations Championship is European rugby union's premier international competition, contested annually by England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Known officially as the Guinness Men's Six Nations, it is one of the most-watched rugby events in the world, attracting tens of millions of viewers across multiple continents. France are the reigning champions, having retained the Six Nations title after a highly contested tournament that went down to the final game where France secured the trophy with a last minute penalty.
The Six Nations carries deep cultural significance across the nations it represents. Derby matches — such as England vs Scotland's Calcutta Cup, Wales vs England, and Ireland vs England — generate intense national passion and are among the most anticipated fixtures in the rugby calendar. The tournament also plays a vital role in shaping World Rugby Rankings and serves as a key barometer ahead of each Rugby World Cup cycle.
The competition has its roots in the Home Nations Championship, which began in 1883, making it one of the oldest international sporting rivalries in the world. France joined in 1910 to form the Five Nations, and Italy's inclusion in 2000 expanded it to the current six-team format. France and England share the record for most Six Nations titles since Italy joined, with seven apiece.
