The first-leg of the Women’s Championship, which was formerly known as the Grand Prix, will feature nine teams from across the continent, taking place in Lisbon, Portugal on 5-6 June.

The second-leg takes place in Moscow, Russia later on in the month with the women’s tournament on 25-26 June.

Scotland will join Spain and Portugal in Pool C, while current reigning champions Russia are drawn in Pool A alongside Germany and Romania. Poland, Belgium and Wales will form Pool B.

The sevens structure has also undergone a rebrand with its new identity now closer aligned to the Rugby Europe XV’s competitions, with the Trophy and Conference divisions underneath the top-level Championship.

All competitions will take place under strict sanitary protocol due to the current on-going pandemic and ensuring that player and staff safety will be paramount.

All tournaments will be live streamed on Rugby Europe TV.
