About our Six Nations Rugby news

Latest news on the Six Nations Rugby Championship, Europe's premier tournament featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales in battle for glory.

The 2025 Six Nations Championship, known commercially as the Guinness Six Nations, represented the 131st edition of rugby's greatest championship, featuring the top six European rugby nations competing for one of sport's most prestigious titles. Ireland entered as two-time defending champions, but it was the French who reigned victorious in the 2025 edition of the tournament, beating England to the trophy by a single point.

The tournament features intense rivalries and historic trophies, including the Calcutta Cup between England and Scotland, the Triple Crown contested among the four Home Nations, and the ultimate prize of the Grand Slam for any team winning all five matches. The championship's unique format, with each team playing five matches over seven weeks, creates a compelling narrative that captivates millions of rugby fans across Europe.

Beyond the statistics and scores, the Six Nations embodies the spirit of international rugby, with passionate fans travelling across borders to support their teams. The tournament brings cities alive with pre-match atmospheres in Dublin's Temple Bar, Edinburgh's Rose Street, and Cardiff's St. Mary Street, while historic venues like Twickenham and the Stade de France become cauldrons of sporting drama.

Since its origins as the Home Nations Championship in 1883, through its expansion to the Five Nations in 1910 with France's addition, and finally to the Six Nations in 2000 with Italy joining, the tournament has evolved while maintaining its traditional values. The championship has produced countless memorable moments, from France's first Grand Slam in 1968 to Ireland's recent dominance under Andy Farrell.

Our comprehensive NewsNow coverage brings you the latest Six Nations developments, including match reports, injury updates, team selections, and expert analysis from respected rugby journalists across all six competing nations. Whether you're following the title race, tracking individual performances, or enjoying the tournament's rich traditions, our feed keeps you connected to every aspect of Europe's premier rugby championship.
