The 2024 Rugby Europe Championship will be 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 will take part in the 2024 championship. The championship will be contested by Belgium, Georgia, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, and Spain.

Georgia will be entering the tournament as defending champions. They won the final against Portugal in the 2023 tournament, claiming their 15th title. The serpentine system was applied to allocate each team to their respective groups.[1] Each team plays a total of five games (three round robin group matches to determine the team's path and two play-off matches).[1] Seeding (for a group) and relegation are calculated over a two-year cycle, as is the promotion from the Trophy competition.[1][2]
