European rugby union championship
The 1992–94 FIRA Trophy was the 30th edition of the European rugby union championship for national teams. The 1992-94 edition was arranged with a new format. Ten teams were admitted to the first division and divided into 2 pools to play a Preliminary Tournament which qualified five teams to play for the title in the 1993-1994 season.

Pool for Title
Italy came close to winning their first tournament, beating a non-capped France A1 side for the first time by 16-9, but lost to Romania (26-12) away, and so France won the title on points difference, despite finishing with the same number of table points as the Italian and the Romanian sides. The French only awarded caps in their first game, a 51-0 win over the Romanians. Russia participated for the first time after the end of the Soviet Union , finishing in a disappointing 4th place, with a single win over Spain abroad (16-9).
