The England national under-18 rugby union team is the under-18 team of England in the sport of rugby union.

History

Under-18 became a recognised age-grade in European rugby in 2004. In June 2018, coach John Fletcher and Peter Walton left the backroom staff having joined the U18 set-up since 2008 from Newcastle Falcons.

European Championship

England is, apart from France and Ireland, the only other team in the European Under-18 Rugby Union Championship to have won the championship, having done so in 2005 and 2006. Additionally, the team came second in the 2009 and 2011 editions. The team did not participate in the 2010 edition.

England lost the 2011 final in wet conditions against Ireland, who took out their first title.

Under-19 International Series

Since 2012, England U18s travel to South Africa to compete in the U19 international series in August every year.
