The Six Nations Championship is not just a competition; it is an unchanging ritual where time stands still to make way for bravery.

In 2027, Rome’s Stadio Olimpico will once again become the stage for these heroic contests, where Latin passion meets Anglo-Saxon discipline. In this light-filled arena, every match is a living masterpiece, a ballet of strength and tactical intelligence.

The prestigious side event on offer: The Garibaldi Trophy

When France and Italy face off on 6 March 2027, the pitch becomes the stage for a vibrant tribute to the shared history of these two Latin ‘cousins’.

The Garibaldi Trophy, named after the hero of two worlds, transcends the sporting stakes. It is a duel of elegance and power, a fierce battle for honour in which the winner walks away with a work of art as much as a symbolic victory.

Between Les Bleus and the Azzurri, rugby becomes physical poetry, a battle of the heart where brotherhood never overshadows the thirst for conquest.

Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, an iconic jewel of Italy, has embodied the passionate spirit of sport since 1937 as the home ground of Lazio and AS Roma, the arch-rivals of Italian football.

A witness to memorable triumphs and historic moments, this sporting sanctuary proudly hosts the exploits of renowned athletes during the Olympic Games, the European Cup and the World Cup. With its majestic architecture, vibrant stands and rich history, the Stadio Olimpico transcends the simple status of a stadium to become the epic theatre where the most captivating sporting sagas are played out, thus inspiring generations of fans around the world.

As such, it has hosted Italy’s national rugby union matches since 2012 and has been a privileged witness to the exploits of the Azzurri, who will be aiming to add another to their list during this Six Nations tournament.

A legendary trio of matches awaits you, promising memories to last a lifetime.
