Who Won The 2023 Six Nations? It Was Ireland Rugby
The Irish, who spent most of 2023 as the No.1 team in the world, pulled off the Grand Slam when they beat England on St. Patrick's Day in 2023.
It was the fourth Grand Slam win for Ireland.
Six Nations Betting Odds
While Ireland went 5-0 and completed the Grand Slam in 2023, according to a collection of betting sites, including Draftkings and Fanduel, France is the betting favorite to win the Six Nations this year, followed by Ireland and England.
How Does The Six Nations Scoring Work?
Here’s how the scoring system works:
- The team that wins a match gets four points or (if the team scores four tries or more) five points.
- The team that loses gets no points or (if the team scores four tries or more by a margin of seven points or fewer) one point or (if the team scores four tries or more and loses by a margin of seven points or fewer) two points.
- Teams that draw each get two points, and any team that scores four tries or more gets one more point.
- A team that wins all five of its matches (a “Grand Slam”) will get three more points.
Who Wins The Six Nations Rugby Championship If Teams Tie?
If the teams have the same number of match points, the tiebreaker is point differential during the tournament. The second tiebreaker is the number of points scored. There is no third tiebreaker. The last time two rugby teams tied for the championship was 1988, when France and Wales split the championship.
How Do Teams Win The Grand Slam At The Six Nations Rugby Championship?
If one team goes 5-0 during the tournament, they win the Grand Slam. England holds the record for the most Grand Slams at 13.
Who Has Won The Six Nations The Most Times?
England, having the record for most Grand Slams, also has won the Six Nations the most. England has won the tournament 29 times and shared the title 10 times.
Wales trails England by one, having won the tournament 28 times, while sharing the title 11 times.
Wales last won the event in 2021. England last won in 2020. France’s win in 2022 was its first since 2010.
Has Italy Ever Won The Six Nations Rugby Championship?
Italy joined the Six Nations in 2000, as the tournament hoped it would make the field more competitive, but Italy has never won the event.
Since 2000, Italy has earned the “wooden spoon” 18 times, including the last eight years. Since Italy joined the tournament, only Wales and Scotland have finished last.
Why Is It Called Six Nations?
The name is, unsurprisingly, derived from the six nations that play in the tournament, but it wasn’t always known as the Six Nations.
The tournament was once called the Five Nations Championship. The name changed to Six Nations when Italy joined the original five countries in 2000.
