The Women’s Six Nations Championship is run at the same time as the men’s competition; February through March. The competition is also between the six elite European women’s national teams. The women’s tournament was introduced in the 2001 season, and included the same national teams as the men’s competition did, with the exception of Italy, with Spain instead. The participating nations remained unchanged for several seasons until 2007, when Spain was replaced with Italy.

  1. Just to clarify Wendy, your last 2 paragraphs in fact refer to the men’s 6 Nations and not the women’s competition which was won by England last year.
