European rugby union championship From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Europe Cup 1954 was the fifth Rugby Union European championship, organised by FIRA and the second (and last) with this name.
With the exception of a preliminary, all the matches were played in Italy.[1] As in the 1952 edition, France won the title after a victory over Italy in the final.[2]
This was the last edition of this competition. A European tournament arranged by FIRA, returned only in 1965 with the Nations Cup.
