  • Here's everything you need to know about the 2025 edition of the men's Six Nations, with Ireland aiming to win a third consecutive title.

The Six Nations 2025 rugby tournament will feature the traditional six teams: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales, competing in a round-robin format where each team plays every other team once. The tournament kicks off on January 31, 2025, with France hosting Ireland, and concludes on March 15, 2025, with matches including England vs. France and Wales vs. Italy. The schedule includes notable matches like Scotland vs. England on February 22, 2025, and the final round where all games are played simultaneously. Points are awarded as follows: 4 for a win, 2 for a draw, and bonus points can be earned for scoring four or more tries or losing by seven points or fewer. The team with the most points at the end of the tournament wins the Six Nations Championship, with tiebreakers based on points difference, tries scored, and head-to-head results if necessary. Additionally, there are awards like the Triple Crown for the best of the Home Nations, the Grand Slam for winning all matches, and the Wooden Spoon for the last-placed team.
