The 2027 Rugby Europe Championship will be the eleventh Rugby Europe Championship, the annual rugby union competition for the top European national teams outside the Six Nations Championship, and the 55rd edition of the competition (including all its previous incarnations as the FIRA Tournament, Rugby Union European Cup, FIRA Nations Cup, FIRA Trophy, and European Nations Cup).
Eight teams will take part in the 2027 championship. The championship will be contested by Belgium, Georgia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Switzerland.
Portugal will enter the tournament as defending champions. They won the final against Georgia in the 2026 tournament, claiming their 2nd title. The serpentine system was applied to allocate each team to their respective groups.[1] Each team played a total of five games (three round robin group matches to determine the team's path and two play-off matches).[1] Seeding (for a group) and relegation are calculated over a one-year cycle, as is the promotion from the Trophy competition.[1]
