The European Nations Cup (ENC) First Division is the sixth edition of the so-called Six Nations B, since its launch in 2000.

Contents

The ENC is played over two years during which all teams meet each other home and away. The games are usually played in February and March during the Six Nations Championship, and in May to avoid very cold conditions in Eastern Europe. However the winner of this does not get promoted to the Six Nations.
