The Millennium Trophy () is a rugby union award contested annually by England and Ireland as part of the Six Nations Championship. It was initiated in 1988 as part of Dublin's millennial celebrations. The trophy has the shape of a horned Viking helmet. As of 2025, England have won it 21 times, and Ireland 17 times. It was made by an American silversmith, Charles Zanoni, in his studio in Bray, Co.Wicklow.

Ireland are the current holders after beating England at the Aviva Stadium on 1 February 2025.
