European Nations Cup 2000
In 2000, the first season of the reformed version of the European Nations Cup (ENC) took place. The reform had become necessary mainly because Italy was accepted into the group of participants in the Six Nations . With Morocco , a member of the Confederation of African Rugby since 1986 , an out-of-competition African country also took part in this first edition. According to the Six Nations model, each team only played once against each opponent, and the game dates also roughly matched those of the Six Nations tournament.
Regulations
The point system used was as follows:
- 3 points if you win
- 2 points if there is a tie

In the event of a tie, the direct encounter made the difference.
