In April , after two years of negotiations, it was confirmed that the Heineken Cup would be replaced by the new European Rugby Champions Cup beginning in the —15 season.

The Champions Cup includes the top six teams from the previous season's Premiership, with the possibility of a seventh if the seventh-placed Premiership side wins a play-off.

The Anglo-Welsh Cup , known by several sponsored names during its history, was the successor to a tournament founded in the —72 season as the RFU Club Competition.

It was originally a national knock-out competition for English club teams, and went through several sponsored names in the next quarter-century.

Starting in the —06 season, it was changed into a competition for Premiership clubs plus the Welsh sides competing in the Celtic League , now Pro The EDF National Trophy was founded in —06 as a new knock-out competition solely for English clubs, but Premiership sides do not take part.

Through the —14 season, the strongest Premiership teams took part in the Heineken Cup and the rest of the Premiership competed in the Amlin Challenge Cup.

Since the —15 season, the top Premiership sides compete in the Champions Cup, with the rest of the league involved in the new European Rugby Challenge Cup.

Following the —18 edition of the Anglo-Welsh Cup, the Welsh regions pulled out of the competition in favour of creating a dedicated U competition for that country alone.

Premiership Rugby, the company that operates the top English flight, then announced that it would launch the new Premiership Rugby Cup , featuring all 12 league members, effective with the —19 season.

The British and Irish Cup is a competition founded in —10 by all four Home Unions for lower-tier professional and semi-pro teams throughout Great Britain and Ireland.

In the competition's third season it was expanded to 32 sides from its original 24; it featured all twelve teams from both the RFU Championship and the Welsh Premier Division the level below Pro14 , "A" sides from all four Irish provinces, and the top four sides from the Scottish Premiership.

The 32 teams were divided into eight pools, each with a round-robin format. The pool winners then advance to knockout quarter-finals, followed by semi-finals and a final.

For season —14 the competition returned to 24 sides with the reduction of Welsh clubs from twelve to four. The final English team to have won are Ealing Trailfinders in The Natwest Cup is the English school's rugby union cup competition.

The final is held at Twickenham Stadium. Competitions are held at the U18 and U15 age group levels. At each age group there are two competitions, a cup for schools which win their opening matches, and a vase for those who lose their opening matches.

The Middlesex 7s is the premier club-level rugby sevens event held in England note, however, that international sides have taken part on occasion.

National men's sevens teams compete annually in the London Sevens at Twickenham, which has usually been the final event in each season's World Rugby Sevens Series since —12 , though it is not the final event in the current —18 series.

The following games are considered premiership derbies. According to World Rugby , England has 1, rugby union clubs; 6, referees; , pre-teen male players; , teen male players; , senior male players total male players 1,, as well as 11, senior female players.

Rugby union has often been considered, somewhat pejoratively, a 'posh' game. This may be historically linked to the split between Northern teams and the rest of the rugby fraternity over 'broken time payments', i.

This split led to the development of the separate sport of rugby league. The amateur ethos made it difficult for players who could not afford to take time off work to play away games or to go on tour - an integral part of the rugby tradition.

Rugby union in many parts of England is associated with fee-paying independent schools such as Stonyhurst College or Sedbergh School who have historically provided many of the national players.

It is also commonly played at Grammar schools , but Comprehensive schools in much of the country tended not to play the game, although this is no longer the case.

Whilst rugby union was officially an amateur sport, many rugby union players came to play rugby league. In recent years this trend has reversed and some rugby league players have crossed codes to play union.

Due to the split with most of the Yorkshire and Lancashire clubs, rugby union remained more popular in the South and the Midlands than the North of England, although this trend is now nowhere near as prevalent, with many teams in the North able to field four or five senior sides per week.

Although four of the teams in the Premiership have historic links with London, one of these has now moved to a neighbouring town and a second has moved to the more distant city of Coventry , and only Harlequins and Saracens now play in the capital, respectively in the outer suburbs of Twickenham and Hendon Saracens had also played in a neighbouring town before returning to London in early At an amateur level, however, rugby remains strong in the London area.
