England Rugby continues to be a dominant force in international competition, with both the men's and women's national teams regularly competing at the highest levels. The Rugby Football Union (RFU), established in 1871, governs the sport in England with over 2,000 clubs nationwide and a growing fanbase of millions.
The England men's team finished second in the 2025 Six Nations Championship, winning four matches including a thrilling 26-25 victory over France and a narrow 16-15 win against Scotland to reclaim the Calcutta Cup. Captain Maro Itoje led his squad to their highest points tally against Wales in Cardiff, with a record-breaking 68-14 victory. Tommy Freeman made history by becoming the first England player to score a try in every round of a single Six Nations tournament, while 20-year-old Henry Pollock became England's youngest try scorer in the championship's history during his impressive debut.
Twickenham Stadium, the iconic home of England Rugby, continues to attract sell-out crowds of 82,000 for international fixtures. Community rugby programmes across England have seen significant growth in participation, with particular increases in women's and girls' rugby. The sport's accessibility has improved across all regions of the country, with player profiles becoming increasingly diverse to reflect changing demographics.
Since their historic 2003 Rugby World Cup victory under Sir Clive Woodward, England Rugby has experienced periods of both triumph and rebuilding. Steve Borthwick's tactical approach has shown promising results, with the emergence of players like Fin Smith and the repositioning of Marcus Smith at fullback proving successful innovations.
