Who has won the most Six Nations titles?
England are the most successful in the championship’s current iteration, having claimed seven Six Nations titles, two of which are Grand Slams – meaning they won every game in that year’s championship.
Wales and France have won six Six Nations titles each since 2000, with an impressive four Grand Slams apiece.
Ireland have won six editions, three of which were Grand Slams, including last year’s tournament - which was the first time they’d done so in front of their home fans in Dublin.
Scotland were the final Five Nations winners in 1999, but have yet to win the Six Nations. Their best finish is third, which they’ve finished in four times.
Italy have never managed to win the Six Nations, either. Their highest finish of fourth came in 2013 after wins over France and Ireland.
- England – 7 wins (2 Grand Slams)
- Wales – 6 wins (4 Grand Slams)
