The Six Nations Championship / Rugby Union rivalry cup France vs Ireland Six Nations History
Over the years, this fixture has conjured countless unforgettable moments, from Ireland's resilient performances in Paris to France's flair and dominance at home. The balance of power has swung back and forth through the generations with 1970s and 80s marked by French superiority. In the 2000s, Ireland emerged as persistent challengers under stars like Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara, and Paul O'Connell.
Recent tournaments have proven decisive for both sides in determining the Six Nations title. Ireland's most famous wins in 2018 and 2023, both Grand Slam years, solidified their reputation as one of Europe's most efficient sides. Meanwhile, France's resurgence under Fabien Galthié, a Grand Slam year in 2022, has allowed the rivalry to be reborn.
The Calcutta Cup may belong to England and Scotland, but for France and Ireland, this fixture is the epitome of modern rugby's spirit - skill, speed, and tradition. Every meeting between Les Bleus and The Men in Green is a world-class showcase of talent and Six Nation's pride.
