The championship was originally known as the Home Nations in 1883, and only involved four teams: England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. But became known as the Five Nations with the addition of France in 1940.

It became the Six Nations as we know it in 2000, when Italy joined with the turn of the millennium.
