2008-2010 European Nations Cup First Division

2008-2010 European Nations Cup First Division

The 2008-2010 European Nations Cup First Division will be the 7th edition of the championship since it was reformed in 2000. The championship will not only determine the champions of the ENC but it will also act as an element of European qualification for the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.

The top two teams will qualify directly to the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and the third placed team will enter the European qualification playoffs. These playoffs include the champion of Division 2A and the leaders of the lower ENC divisions (excluding 3D) at the end of the 2008-2009 season. The winner will go on to play the second place African qualifier in the semifinals of the Rugby World Cup 2011 20th Place Playoff for the last spot in the 2011 Rugby World Cup finals.

This season will see Germany in the First Division for the first time since the divisional system was created, replacing Czech Republic who were relegated to Division 2A.
