History of rugby union matches between France and Scotland information
1926 Five Nations Championship match between France and Scotland at Stade Yves-du-Manoir, Colombes.
The history of rugby union matches between France and Scotland dates back to 1910 when the two teams played against each other in Edinburgh. Scotland won the match 27–0. Since then there have been a total of 103 games played, resulting in 60 wins for France, 40 wins for Scotland and 3 draws, as of February 2024.
During rugby union's amateur era, the overall history of the fixture was relatively even – up to the end of the 1995 Rugby World Cup the sides had met 67 times with France winning 33 games and Scotland 31. Since then there has been a marked shift in favour of France, who have won 27 of the 36 matches between the teams since 1996.
Scotland and France play each other at least once a year, as both participate in the Six Nations Championship, and its predecessor competitions. In 2018 a new trophy, the Auld Alliance Trophy, was inaugurated to be presented to the winner of the Six Nations fixture each year.[1] Apart from their annual match, currently part of the Six Nations Championship, the teams have also met in five warm-up matches prior to the 2015, 2019 and 2023 World Cups, with France winning on three occasions and Scotland two.
