    About our European Rugby Champions Cup news

    Latest news on European Rugby Champions Cup (Champions Cup), covering matches, scores and teams in Europe's elite rugby union club competition formerly known as Heineken Cup.

    The European Rugby Champions Cup stands as the pinnacle of club rugby union in the northern hemisphere, featuring 24 elite teams from England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and South Africa. In its 2024-25 season, now known as the Investec Champions Cup, the tournament continues to showcase the highest level of professional club rugby, with teams competing for the most prestigious trophy in European club rugby.

    The current season's competition began on 6 December 2024, with matches producing an impressive average of 14 tries per game. Notable performances have come from Thomas Ramos of Toulouse, leading the points scoring with 28 points, while Harlequins' Alex Dombrandt tops the try-scoring charts with 4 tries. The tournament features a modified round-robin format with four pools of six teams each, leading to knockout stages culminating in the final at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 24 May 2025.

    The competition highlights the international flavour of modern club rugby, with coaching talent from across the globe, including South Africa's Jake White at the Bulls, Ireland's Ronan O'Gara at La Rochelle, and England's Stuart Lancaster at Racing 92. The tournament has seen impressive attendance figures, with the highest attendance of 34,184 recorded at the Leinster versus Clermont match, demonstrating the competition's enduring appeal to rugby fans.

    Originally established as the Heineken Cup in 1995, the tournament was rebranded as the European Rugby Champions Cup in 2014. Throughout its history, the competition has served as a showcase for some of rugby's greatest talents and most memorable matches. The tournament's expansion to include South African teams has added an exciting new dimension to the competition, bringing together different playing styles and rugby cultures.
