The 2024 Rugby Europe Championship was the eighth Rugby Europe Championship, the annual rugby union competition for the top European national teams outside the Six Nations Championship, and the 53rd edition of the competition (including all its previous incarnations as the FIRA Tournament, Rugby Union European Cup, FIRA Nations Cup, FIRA Trophy, and European Nations Cup).
Eight teams took part in the 2024 championship. The championship was contested by Belgium, Georgia, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Spain.
The serpentine system was applied to allocate each team to their respective groups. Each team played a total of five games (three round robin group matches to determine the team's path and two play-off matches). Seeding (for a group) and relegation were calculated over a two-year cycle, as was the promotion from the Trophy competition.
Georgia entered the tournament as defending champions, having won the 2023 tournament final against Portugal. Georgia won the tournament, thus claiming their 16th title, again defeating Portugal in the final.
