Scotland Women’s Six Nations Results by Year (2002–2026)

6 Apr 2026

Scotland Women have experienced a journey of growth, challenge and resurgence in the Guinness Women’s Six Nations since the early 2000s, with their results reflecting both the competitiveness of the championship and the steady development of the women’s game in Scotland.

2002-2005 

The early years of the competition brought some of Scotland’s strongest performances. A third place finish in 2002 was followed by an impressive runners-up spot in 2003, marking one of the team’s highest ever achievements in the championship. Scotland’s win against Wales, including a 25-metre penalty from Paula Chalmers, resulted in their third straight win in the Championship but they would come unstuck against England in the next round. 2004 and 2006 saw Scotland finish fourth, remaining competitive and adding another third-place finish in 2005. Paula Chalmers was the top point scorer of the Championship that year with 46 points to her name.  

2007–2016  

From 2007 onwards, the championship became increasingly demanding. Scotland placed fifth in 2007 and 2009, and sixth in 2008. Despite a brief lift to fourth in 2010, the team faced a challenging period between 2011 and 2016, finishing sixth in six consecutive tournaments. 

2017-2022 

Signs of progress began to re-emerge in 2017, with a return to fourth place, followed by a fifth place finish in 2018. However, consistency remained elusive, with Scotland alternating between fifth and sixth place from 2019 to 2022. 

2023-2025 

In recent seasons, there have been encouraging indicators of upward momentum. Back-to-back fourth place finishes in 2023 and 2024 highlighted renewed competitiveness and belief within the squad, before a fifth place finish in 2025 rounded off the most recent campaign. 

 

As the women’s game continues to grow in visibility and support, Scotland Women are building towards greater consistency and stronger finishes. With this year’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations tournament set to have record breaking attendances and a new generation of players emerging, the future of the women’s game looks increasingly promising.
