6 or 5 Nations

Rugby

The rugby tournament was first called "Five Nations Championship" in 1910 when the French officially joined the competition. In 2000, Italy joined and the tournament became known as "Six Nations Championship." England and Scotland were the only winners until 1893 when Wales won their first title. Ireland won their first championship in 1894. Over the years of the five or six nation championships there have been many controversies. England was barred from the championship in 1888 and 1889; Wales was made a pariah in 1897 and 1898 because of money given to their star player. France was expelled after the 1931 competition due to allegations of professionalism and concerns over violence. France was readmitted for the 1940 competition.
