Rugby Europe is a privately owned organization headquartered in France. Founded in 2014, with approximately 50 employees, the organization reported $18.2M in revenue as of 2023 and is a tier 3 media tech buyer. Functioning as the administrative body for rugby union in Europe, Rugby Europe was renamed in 2014 after the split of FIRA-AER, which had been formed in 1999 to promote, develop, organize, and administer the game of rugby in Europe under the authority of the International Rugby Board, the world governing body of rugby union.
On March 19, 2026, the Rugby Europe Finals in Madrid concluded, with Portugal crowned the newest champion after five emotionally charged weekends of competition. Portugal secured a historic Rugby Europe Championship title on March 16, defeating long-dominant Georgia 19-17 in an extraordinary final held in Spain. This victory marked Portugal's first win over Georgia since 2005. Spain claimed the Bronze medal in the tournament. Previously, on March 14, excitement built for "Super Sunday," the championship finals in Spain, where eight teams had been competing since February 7 to determine their standings. Earlier, on March 10, anticipation grew for specific player clashes among Rugby Europe's finest, and a Fan Zone was announced to open on March 15 in Leganés, Madrid, coinciding with the finals to offer a public space for fans and families.
