The Most Successful Six Nations Teams

The Six Nations Championship has been a battleground for Europe’s best rugby nations, and history favors England as the most successful team in the tournament’s long-standing legacy. With an impressive 29 titles, including seven Six Nations championships since the tournament's modern format began in 2000, England stands at the pinnacle of northern hemisphere rugby.

However, Ireland is making a strong case for dominance, having secured the past two Six Nations titles and now aiming for a historic three-peat. Their tally of six championships ties them with France and Wales, all of whom have been dominant forces in the competition.

Meanwhile, Scotland remains in search of their first Six Nations title, though they were the last team to win the Five Nations before Italy joined the fray in 2000. The Italians, despite their valiant efforts, are yet to lay hands on the prestigious trophy.

Key Fixtures and Rivalries

The 2025 Six Nations is packed with unmissable encounters, none more anticipated than the Round 1 showdown between Ireland and England on February 1st. Last year, England shattered Ireland’s Grand Slam dream, and now, the Irish squad is hungry for revenge.

Other key fixtures include the historic Calcutta Cup clash between England and Scotland on February 22nd, as well as the high-stakes Le Crunch battle between England and France on February 8th.

The final round on March 15th promises fireworks, with Wales hosting England in Cardiff and France taking on Scotland in a potentially title-deciding clash in Paris.
