2021 Rugby Europe Championship

The 2021 Rugby Europe Championship was the 5th Rugby Europe Championship, the annual rugby union competition contested by the national teams of Georgia, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain and the Netherlands (who promoted to the Championship after defeating Belgium in the promotion/relegation play-off of the 2020 Rugby Europe Championship), and the 52nd edition of the competition (including all its previous incarnations as FIRA Tournament, Rugby Union European Cup, FIRA Nations Cup, FIRA Trophy and European Nations Cup). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament spanned from March to December, compared to previous editions where the tournament would have been held between February and March.

This year's edition of the Rugby Europe Championship doubles as the first year of the 2023 Rugby World Cup qualifiers for the European region, where the winner and runner-up of the two-year cycle automatically qualify to the tournament as Europe 1 and Europe 2 respectively while the team in third place advances to the final qualification tournament as Europe 3.
