What happened in the 2025 Six Nations?

England secured a seventh successive Women’s Six Nations title and fourth Grand Slam in a row with a nailbiting 43-42 victory over France in the tournament’s final game.

Clinching the Grand Slam with five bonus-point wins earned England a further three bonus points to give them a final championship total of 28.

France finished second, as they have in every Six Nations since their last victory over England in 2018, with four wins.

Ireland claimed a losing bonus point in a 26-19 defeat by Scotland to guarantee third place.

Italy finished their campaign in style with a thumping 44-12 win over Wales to finish fourth in the table, one point behind Ireland.

Francesca McGhie’s late try snatched a morale-boosting victory for Scotland over Ireland as they finished fifth.

Wales’ defeat condemned Sean Lynn’s side to the Wooden Spoon for the second year running as they lost all five games for the first time in their history.

Final standings

Who has won the most Women’s Six Nations titles?

The championship started as the Women’s Home Nations in 1996, welcomed France into the Five Nations in 1999 and became the Women’s Six Nations in 2002.

However, Italy did not join the championship until 2007 when they took the place of Spain.

England have dominated the championship:

  • England have won 21 of the 29 tournaments, securing 19 Grand Slams and 25 Triple Crowns in the process.

  • The Red Roses have won the past seven tournaments, securing Grand Slams in six of those years and only being denied the chance of a seventh by the changes to the 2021 season as a result of Covid.

  • England’s last defeat was against France in 2018. They have won their past 32 Six Nations matches, scoring 252 tries and only conceding 33.

France are the best of the rest:

  • France, winners of the first Six Nations in 2002, have won the title six times, with five Grand Slams.

  • Ireland won the championship in 2013 and 2015.

  • Scotland won the 1998 Home Nations championship.

  • Wales and Italy have never won the tournament.

How the Six Nations works

Teams earn four points for a win and two for a draw.

Bonus points are earned for scoring four or more tries in a match and for losing by seven points or fewer.

A team that completes a Grand Slam by beating all five other nations – as England did last year – is awarded three extra bonus points to guarantee them the title.
