History of rugby union matches between England and France

The first rugby union match between England and France was held on 22 March 1906 at Parc des Princes in Paris.

The traditional name for the annual England versus France rugby union match in the Six Nations Championship as used on both sides of the English Channel is Le Crunch, used since at least 1981 (although it has been named "Eurostar Trophy" a few times in France, since 2000).

[1] Apart from their annual match, currently part of the Six Nations Championship, the teams have also met in six warm-up matches prior to the 2003, 2007 and 2015 World Cups, with France winning on four occasions and England two.

England and France have played each other on 112 occasions, England winning 61, France winning 44, and 7 matches have been drawn.
