What is the EPCR Challenge Cup?

The EPCR Challenge Cup is an annual rugby union competition organized by the European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR), which features club teams from across Europe. It is considered the second-tier competition in European club rugby, below the prestigious Heineken Champions Cup. The Challenge Cup provides a platform for clubs from various leagues, including the English Premiership (Premiership Rugby), Top 14 (France), and Pro14 (which features teams from Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Italy), to compete at an international level.

The format of the EPCR Challenge Cup typically involves pool stages, where teams are divided into groups and play round-robin matches, followed by knockout rounds. The top teams from the pools progress to the knockout stages, which eventually lead to the Challenge Cup Final, where the two best teams compete for the trophy.

The EPCR Challenge Cup was introduced in 1996 as the European Challenge Cup, and over time it has evolved into one of the most competitive tournaments in European rugby. It is a coveted title for many clubs that may not have the resources or consistent form to challenge for the Heineken Champions Cup but still wish to compete at the highest level of European rugby.

In addition to offering clubs a prestigious European competition, the Challenge Cup also provides a valuable opportunity for up-and-coming players and teams to gain experience on the international stage. The competition continues to grow in importance, with clubs from across Europe battling for glory in one of rugby’s premier club tournaments.
