The Nations Championship will take place every two years, outside of Rugby World Cup and British & Irish Lions Tour years. The tournament will see twelve of the strongest international rugby nations in the world form two groups of six teams.

The Six Nations teams form a European group to represent the Northern Hemisphere, and will face the powerhouse SANZAAR nations, plus invitational teams Japan and Fiji, who complete the line up representing the Southern Hemisphere.

In July, the Northern Hemisphere group of teams will travel South to play three rounds of fixtures, with every team playing a different rival from the opposing Hemisphere group. In November, the Southern Hemisphere group will then travel north of the equator for the remaining three rounds.

The Finals Weekend will deliver wall-to-wall elite sporting entertainment to fans, with three days of double headers taking centre stage at Allianz Stadium.

To see how the finals will be arranged between the competing teams once the final table is complete, watch the video below from the Nations Championship for full details:

All applications for England home international tickets will be processed using the England Rugby mobile ticket application procedure.

Carlisle RFC will not purchase tickets on behalf of members.

Instead we will search for available tickets on the England Rugby ticket site and allocate the number requested by that member, to them, using the email details that we hold within the RFU’s Game Management System(GMS). It is essential that these details are up to date and it is the members responsibility to ensure that the club have access to the correct current information, which is currently collected annually through the membership form and used to update members GMS records.

You must also have paid all relevant membership subscriptions for this season 25/26 in order to apply for tickets. Please note that only Full, Player or Volunteer members have the right to access Club discounted tickets

Carlisle RFC reserve the right to limit the number of tickets a member may request depending on the number of tickets allocated to the club and the number of tickets requested by members, and due to a significant reduction in the club allocation, members are restricted to 2 tickets

Ticket demand is likely to be high for some of these games and it is to the members advantage to apply early.

Once secured by the club, the member will be emailed directly by England Rugby and it will then be the responsibility of the member to decide whether to purchase those tickets that the club have secured on their behalf, within a 48hr time-slot from receiving that notification. In order to complete your purchase and receive your tickets you must download the Twickenham Stadium app.

Tickets not purchased within this timescale will go back into general club availability.

Once you have purchased tickets you can then distribute those tickets to other members in your party using the Twickenham Stadium app, which they must also download. Full instructions on how to do this are contained within the app. Any help required to do this can only be sourced from the England Rugby ticket office and not from Carlisle RFC.
If you wish to use the exchange facility within the app to resell tickets you may do so, but you will only be refunded the concession rate you paid.

Please note that England Rugby are able to track the origin of mobile tickets, and anyone found abusing the system by reselling at above face value may be subject to sanctions as directed by England Rugby.

All applications to be sent to the international tickets secretary Steve Meakin at spmeakin6372@gmail.com
