England enter the 2026 Women’s Six Nations hoping to win the trophy for an eighth successive year.
The Red Roses, who also won last year’s Rugby World Cup on home soil, are the Six Nations’ most successful team – with 16 titles since it began in 2002.
France are next with six titles, while Ireland are the only other nation to have won it, in 2013 and 2015.
The competition started as the Home Nations in 1996, becoming the Five Nations in 1999 and the Six Nations in 2002.
Spain featured in the first five years of the Six Nations, as well as the final two Five Nations tournaments, before being replaced in 2007 by Italy.
