The Rugby Europe Under-18 Championship, long known as the European Under-18 Rugby Union Championship, is an annual rugby union competition for under-18 national teams, organised by Rugby Europe. It was first held in 2004 in Treviso, Italy, and replaced the European Under-18 Emergent Nations Championship, which began in 2000. Hosting has alternated between France and Italy apart from 2012, when Spain staged it. France won the early editions in 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, England won in 2005, 2006 and 2012, and Ireland became the third winner by beating England in the 2011 final. The event is played in divisions with promotion and relegation, and an elite division was added in 2011.
