Italy will host three matches at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico this 2025.
If you’ve ever wanted the chance to watch a modern-day gladiator match, it’s here. The annual 6 Nations Rugby Championship will commence in February 2025. Six elite rugby nations – Italy, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and France – will go head-to-head in this hundred year old tradition, and just like the Ancient Romans, these rugby warriors will be fighting to the death, or rather to the trophy.
The Six Nations Championship, traces its roots back to 1883 when it began as the Home Nations Championship involving England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. France joined in 1910, evolving it into the Five Nations, and later Italy’s inclusion in 2000 transformed it into the current Six Nations. This prestigious competition showcases intense rivalries, passionate matchups, and skillful displays of rugby prowess. Recent winners have seen a mix of dominant performances, with teams like England, Ireland, and Wales consistently contending for the title. Each edition brings forth new narratives and unforgettable moments, contributing to the rich and dynamic history of this esteemed tournament.
Italy will host three matches at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico this 2025: Wales on February 8th, France on February 23rd and Ireland on March 15th. Watch the players roar, claw, and run to victory. Be prepared for fans to swarm into pubs after the games for the legendary “third half,” known to be a time of copious drinking and celebration of rugby, regardless of which team secured a victory or loss.
Here is a full schedule of the matches.
During the Six Nations match days, the Peroni Nastro Azzurro Terzo Tempo Village will set up in the Foro Italico area and bring color to Rome, enhancing the pre- and post-match experience with events, activities, music, and entertainment to give fans an unforgettable experience.
