EPCR Challenge Cup previous winners list

Take a look at every winner of the EPCR Challenge Cup since the competition was founded in 1996.

Rugby Union

Harlequins and Clermont are the most successful clubs in Challenge Cup history with three titles apiece.

In total, there have been 19 different winners of the competition, with the Sharks the latest to open their account when they became the first South African side to triumph.

The early years of the Challenge Cup were dominated by the French with four different Les Bleus winners before English clubs grasped a stranglehold of the tournament. Between 2011 and 2011, nine of the 11 victors were English clubs.

2022/23 champions Toulon have endured the most final heartache having finished runner-up on four separate occasions.
