The Women's Six Nations Championship is an international rugby union competition contested between six European women's national teams. The competition began as a "Home International Championship" for the four home nations in 1996.

In 1999 and 2000 France and Spain joined the competition to create a the Five Nations championship.

In 2007, the decision of the Six Nations committee to formally adopt the tournament saw Italy Women subsitituted for Spain Women and the title sponsorship of RBS included to produce a parallel tournament with the men's competitions for the first time in Women's Rugby history.
