Rugby International Championship

← 2014–16 (Previous)

(Next) 2018 →

The 2017 Rugby Europe Championship is the premier rugby union competition outside of the Six Nations Championship in Europe. It is the inaugural Championship under its new format, that will see Belgium, Georgia, Germany, Romania, Russia and Spain compete for the title.

This year's edition of the Rugby Europe Championship also serves as the 2019 Rugby World Cup qualifiers for the European region. The team with the best record across the 2017 and 2018 Championships qualifies as Europe 1.^[3] As Georgia have already secured qualification automatically, in the event of a Georgian win, the runner-up will take the Europe 1 qualification spot.
