Supplementary notes
The Six Nations Championship began in 1883 as the Home International Championship, with only England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland competing. France joined in 1910, ushering in the Five Nations era, however, it was ousted in 1931 before rejoining in 1947. Italy entered the competition in 2000. The competition has been called the Six Nations ever since.
Competitions in 1885, 1897, 1898, and 1972 were not completed.
Owing to it having never won a title, Italy was omitted from the statistic.
