Take a look at every winner of the EPCR Challenge Cup since the competition was founded in 1996.
Harlequins, Clermont and Montpellier are the most successful clubs in Challenge Cup history with three titles apiece.
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 2001 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.
