The Women's Six Nations Championship is an international rugby union competition contested between six European women's national teams. The competition began as a "Home International Championship" for the four home nations in 1996.
In 1999 and 2000 France and Spain joined the competition to create the Five/Six Nations championship.
In 2006, a championship trophy was commissioned from silversmith Thomas Lyte, to be followed by a second trophy commissioned for the Under 20 Six Nations championship. Designed and created by Thomas Lyte, the trophies are made from sterling silver and feature engraving detail with the logos of the competing countries.
In 2007, the decision of the Six Nations committee to formally adopt the tournament saw Italy Women subsitituted for Spain Women and the title sponsorship of RBS included to produce a parallel tournament with the men's competition.
