Six Nations Rugby refers to an annual international rugby union competition contested by six European countries: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. The tournament typically takes place over several weeks during the spring and includes a round-robin format where each team plays every other team once. The competition has its origins dating back to the late 19th century and has evolved from the Home Nations Championship (initially involving England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland) to include France and later Italy, making it a six-team event. The team with the most points at the end of the tournament is awarded the championship title, and there are also individual accolades such as the Grand Slam for a team that wins all its matches. The Six Nations is seen as one of the premier competitions in international rugby and garners significant attention and viewership across Europe and beyond.
