British & Irish Cup

The British & Irish Cup was a prestigious rugby union competition featuring club and regional teams from Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England. Established in 2009, the tournament aimed to provide a competitive platform for emerging talent and foster stronger rugby ties across the British Isles. Typically held annually, the competition involved pool stages followed by knockout rounds, culminating in a final to crown the champion. The British & Irish Cup offered valuable experience for up-and-coming players, showcased regional rivalries, and contributed to the development of rugby union in the participating nations. The tournament was discontinued after the 2017-2018 season, but it remains a significant chapter in the history of British and Irish club rugby.
