1965–66 FIRA Nations Cup
The Nations Cup 1965–66 was the sixth edition of a European rugby union championship for national teams and was the first with this name. After the 1954 European Cup, the FIRA did not organize any championship. During the 1964 general assembly in The Hague, it was decided to organize a tournament as a league championship. The teams would be divided in two divisions, with a process of promotion and relegation. The first edition was played between 1965–66. Italy, France, and Romania already played against each other regularly in test matches, so it was easy to arrange this kind of tournament. First division
