What Is the Six Nations Championship?

The Six Nations Championship (Guinness Six Nations) is an annual rugby tournament held between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales.

It was first played in 1883 as the “Home Nations” and featured only England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It has gone by different names and featured different teams over the years:

  • 1883-1909: Home Nations (England,Ireland,Scotland,Wales)
  • 1910-1914,1920-1931: Five Nations (England,France,Ireland,Scotland,Wales)
  • 1932-1939: Home Nations (England,Ireland,Scotland,Wales)
  • 1947-1999: Five Nations (England,France,Ireland,Scotland,Wales)
  • 2000-Present: Six Nations (England,France,Ireland,Italy,Scotland,Wales)

As a result of all the name changes, this is the 23rd Six Nations Championship but the 128th time the event has been held.

The event is held over the course of five weeks with each team playing one of the other teams each week. As a result, there are three games each week for a total of 15.

There are no playoffs. Whichever team wins the most matches, wins the Championship. In 2021, Wales (4-0-1) won the championship even though they lost their last game to second-place France (3-0-2).
