We take a look at which cups are up for grabs at the 2026 Six Nations.
Despite having the overall Six Nations trophy, awarded to the winner of the competition, there are a number of individual cups up for grabs in individual matches throughout the tournament.
Alongside the Grand Slam and the Wooden Spoon, there are a total of eight trophies up for grabs between the six sides.
What cups are up for grabs at the Six Nations?
Triple Crown
England, Wales, Ireland & Scotland
Contested by the four home nations, the Triple Crown is earned by defeating all of the other three countries in the same tournament.
England have won the most Triple Crowns with 26, most recently defeating all three of their closest rivals in 2020, with Wales four behind on 22, earning the award most recently in 2021.
Despite earning a Triple Crown in three of the last four tournaments - including 2025 - Ireland sit third in the all time standings with just 14 to their name, four ahead of bottom placed Scotland (10), who unsurprisingly last won the trophy in 1990.
Calcutta Cup
England v Scotland
First competed for in 1879, the Calcutta Cup is one of Rugby's most prestigious inter-team trophies.
Dating back to Christmas day in 1872, which saw a 20-a-side rugby union match playing in Calcutta, British India between an England and a Scotland team, the Calcutta Cup is steeped in history and tradition.
England have won/retained the cup on the most occasions, beating the Scots to the trophy on 83 occasions to Scotland's 48.
Despite this, Scotland have had the rub of the green in recent seasons, holding the trophy in six of the last eight fixtures between these two sides. England are the current holders, having defeated Scotland 16-15 at Twickenham in 2025.
Millennium Trophy
England v Ireland
A more recent edition to the Six Nations trophy collection, the Millennium Trophy was created in 1988 as part of Dublin's millennial celebrations.
England have won the trophy, which is shaped like Viking horns, on 21 occasions, just four more times than their Irish counterparts have (17).
Ireland are the current holders after beating England at the Aviva Stadium in 2025.
Centenary Quaich
Scotland v Ireland
Instituted in 1989, the Centenary Quaich is presented to the winner of Scotland v Ireland each year. A "Quaich" is a Gaelic drinking vessel.
Ireland have won the Quaich on the most occasions to date, winning 22 of the 37 contests between the two sides, with Scotland winning 14 and one draw.
Ireland are the current holders, having beaten Scotland at Murrayfield in 2025 to win the trophy for the eight successive year.
Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy
France v Italy
One of the most recent editions to the trophy collection, the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy has been contested by France and Italy since 2007.
The trophy was designed by former French international and professional sculptor Jean-Pierre Rives and was awarded to France as part of the celebrations of the bicentenary of Giuseppe Garibaldi's birth.
France have dominated the trophy since its introduction, winning 16 of the 19 iterations and limiting Italy to just two wins in this fixture>
Les Blues are the current holders, having defeated Italy 24-73 in Rome during the 2025 Six Nations.
Auld Alliance Trophy
France v Scotland
Only created in 2018, the Auld Alliance Trophy is awarded to the winner of the contests between France and Scotland.
The trophy was first awarded on the centenary of the end of World War I to commemorate the former France and Scotland internationals who sadly died in the conflict, particularly the captains of the two nations in the last matches played before the First World War – Eric Milroy (Scotland) and Marcel Burgun (France).
In a special moment, the trophy was first carried onto the pitch at Murrayfield by two 11 year-old decendants of the Milroy and Burgun families.
France are the current holders and have won the trophy on five of the eight occasions it has been contested, including all of the last four occasions, with Scotland winning three.
Doddie Weir Cup
Scotland v Wales
Also instituted in 2018, the Doddie Weir Cup is contested by Scotland and Wales.
Named after former Scotland international lock Doddie Weir, who was diagnosed with motor neuron disease in 2016, the award was created to raise funds and awareness of MND charities.
Both sides have won this trophy on four occasions out of the eight times it has been contested and Scotland are the current holders, having won 35-29 at Murrayfield in 2025 - their third consecutive win in this fixture.
Cuttitta Cup
Italy v Scotland
The newest trophy up for grabs at the Six Nations, Italy and Scotland have competed for the Cuttitta Cup since 2022.
The trophy was created to commemorate former Italian captain and Scotland scrum coach Massimo Cuttitta, who unfortunately passed away in 2021, and means that Scotland compete for a trophy in all five of their Six Nations contests.
Unsurprisingly, Scotland have been the dominant force in this fixture to date, winning three of the four matches between these two sides since its creation.
Scotland are the current holders of the trophy, having beaten the Azzurri 31–19 at Murrayfield in 2025 to reclaim the title that they lost in 2024.
