From 2024, the Rugby Europe International Championships is made up of three levels or divisions:
- Level 1 – Championship. The top eight ranked European teams outside the Six Nations contest the annual title.
- Level 2 – Trophy. The next six ranked European teams bid for the Trophy title.
- Level 3 – Conference. Former Conference and Development combined to one level, in five groups.
Its highest level is called the Rugby Europe Championship and, unofficially, referred to as the Six Nations B. Eight teams took part in the 2024 championship. The championship was contested by Belgium 🇧🇪, Georgia 🇬🇪, Germany 🇩🇪, Poland 🇵🇱, the Netherlands 🇳🇱, Portugal 🇵🇹, Romania 🇷🇴 and Spain 🇪🇸.
All levels play on a one-year cycle, replacing the old format of a two-year cycle, with the teams playing each other both home and away. From September 2016, there will still be an annual champion, however a format change means each year sees teams promoted and relegated between the levels.
Georgia has won the most tournaments, with 16 wins overall, and runners up 5 times. They have also won every version of the tournament since 2017. Romania is second on 5 wins and 9 runners up. Portugal are the only other team to have won, winning it back in 2003-2004, beating Romania in the final.
