England National Rugby Union Team

Football Codes

The England national rugby union team represents England in international men's rugby union and is run by the Rugby Football Union. Its history reaches back to 1871, when England played its first official test match and lost 0-1 to Scotland, and its home ground is Twickenham Stadium, where it first played in 1910. England takes part each year in the Six Nations Championship with France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales and has won the championship on 29 occasions outright, more than any other team. It is the only Northern Hemisphere side to have won the Rugby World Cup, which it did in 2003 by beating Australia in extra time, and it has also reached the final in 1991, 2007 and 2019.
