The current Six Nations tournament has a long and impressive history. Its origins date back to 1883, when the competition started as the Home Nations Championship. In this first edition four teams took part: England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
In 1910, France joined the tournament after rugby had become very popular in the country. The inclusion of France gave the championship a stronger international character.
Much later, in 2000, Italy was invited to join the competition. With the addition of Italy the tournament became what we know today as the Six Nations Championship.
