What is the format for the Women’s Six Nations

The format for the Women’s Six Nations is similar to that of the Men’s Six Nations. Each team plays a total of five matches, facing each of the other teams once. Matches are played over a period of several weeks, usually starting in February and concluding in April.

The team that finishes with the most points at the end of the competition is crowned the champion. Teams earn two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams are tied on points, the team with the best points difference (the difference between points scored and points conceded) is declared the winner. If the points difference is also equal, the team with the most tries scored wins.
