  • The 1995–1997 FIRA Trophy was the 31st edition of the European rugby union championship for national teams. The 1995-97 edition was arranged once again with a new format. Due preparations for the 1995 Rugby World Cup, France, Italy and Romania did not participate in the 1994-95 season of the competition, so for that season a Preliminary Tournament was arranged with ten other teams. The higher ranked seven teams were admitted to this tournament, with France, Italy and Romania. The tournament was undergoing a difficult time, due to decreased interest from the strongest teams: France usually sent reserve teams, and Italy were playing matches with the likes of Australia, England and Wales. This is evident looking the results and the programme. France played the first round robin with their Military team, Italy and Romania did not arrange a match for this tournament, but played a match on neutral ground against Argentina for the "Latina Cup". Italy sent two lower level teams to play (during the same weekend) the last two matches. The previous edition's final between Italy and France was played in March 1997, while the 1996-97 edition was already half completed. This edition was the first ever triumph of Italy in the competition, defeating France by 40-32 in the final, thus cementing their claims to be the sixth European rugby nation powerhouse.Italy had started to play in this tournament with France in 1966 and, despite some close results, had never previously beaten their strong rivals. Italy's win, shortly after France had won the 1997 Five Nations Championship, was a historical feat that proved to be crucial for Italy's admission at the Six Nations Championship in 2000. (en)

  • La Coppa FIRA 1995-97 (in francese Trophée européen FIRA 1995-97), anche Coppa Europa 1995-97, fu il 31º campionato europeo di rugby a 15 organizzato dalla FIRA (32º torneo assoluto FIRA incluse le edizioni non valide come campionato europeo) nonché il 18º e ultimo con tale denominazione.Si tenne dal 21 ottobre 1995 al 22 marzo 1997 tra 10 squadre che si affrontarono con la formula dei due gironi e finale unica tra le prime classificate di ciascuno di essi.A laurearsi campione fu per la prima volta l'Italia che, nella finale tenutasi a Grenoble, batté 40-32 la Francia in quella che è ricordata come la prima vittoria assoluta di sempre degli Azzurri sui loro rivali transalpini. La Coppa cadde in un momento particolarmente significativo del rugby mondiale: poco prima dell'inizio del torneo, il 25 agosto 1995, l'International Rugby Football Board aveva ufficializzato il passaggio al professionismo del rugby a 15; la stessa FIRA era oramai in corso di trasformazione nella filiale europea dell'IRB, con l'adesione delle squadre britanniche (che tuttavia non presero parte alle competizioni), e il progressivo distacco delle squadre extraeuropee, destinate alle proprie organizzazioni continentali di riferimento. Alla prima divisione dell'edizione in oggetto presero parte le tre squadre del campionato europeo che avevano partecipato alla Coppa del Mondo 1995 (Francia, Italia e Romania) e che, di conseguenza, nella stagione precedente non si impegnarono in tornei organizzati dalla FIRA, più le migliori sette squadre emerse dal torneo preliminare che si tenne in luogo del campionato europeo (nell'ordine Spagna, Russia, Portogallo, Polonia, Tunisia, Marocco e Belgio).Il campionato non ebbe né promozioni né retrocessioni: le successive due edizioni, senza assegnazione di titolo, servirono come fase qualificatoria alla Coppa del Mondo 1999 e come preliminare per la riassegnazione delle squadre nazionali, senza più la presenza di Francia e Italia, quest'ultima ammessa al Cinque Nazioni, alle varie fasce di merito in vista del nuovo campionato europeo che prese il via dalla stagione sportiva 1999-2000.
