The England men's team finished second in the 2025 Six Nations Championship, winning four matches including a thrilling 26-25 victory over France and a narrow 16-15 win against Scotland to reclaim the Calcutta Cup. Captain Maro Itoje led his squad to their highest points tally against Wales in Cardiff, with a record-breaking 68-14 victory.

Community rugby programmes across England have seen significant growth in participation, with particular increases in women's and girls' rugby.

Since their historic 2003 Rugby World Cup victory under Sir Clive Woodward, England Rugby has experienced periods of both triumph and rebuilding.
