European Nations Cup 2012–2014

The European Nations Cup 2012–2014 (ENC) is a rugby union competition for European national teams in the second and third class, below the Six Nations . 36 teams in seven divisions are involved. In Division 1A, the winner of the ENC is determined annually. However, the two-year table is used to determine the European participants of the Rugby World Cup 2015 who have not already qualified (see Qualification for the Rugby World Cup 2015 ), as well as to determine the relegated team.

Regulations

The point system used in all divisions is as follows:

• 4 points if you win
• 2 points if there is a tie
• 0 points if you lose
• 1 bonus point for four or more attempts in a game
• 1 bonus point for a loss with a difference of seven or less points
