The Six Nations is one of the oldest rugby tournaments still around as it began as early as 1883. Back then it was just the four home nations – England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland – that participated. 

In 1910 France were admitted to form the Five Nations but in 1931 the French were given the boot as the tournament returned to the four home nations. But in 1940 the French returned and it remained the Five Nations until the year 2000 when Italy joined.

For the last 20 years it has been the Six Nations with the same teams despite calls for Romania and/or Georgia to be added to the mix. Many have touted a relegation format as Italy have struggled to compete against the other five consistently.

Ireland, Scotland and Wales are the only teams to have participated in all 125 tournaments because England did not compete in 1888 and 1889 due to their refusal to join the International Rugby Board. During both World Wars the tournament was suspended.
