The 2023 Rugby Europe U20 Championship was the sixth edition of the tournament and took place in Prague, Czechia from 12 to 19 November.[1] The competition featured eight European nations, including an invitational team from France, Ligue AURA, which consisted of regional U19 players. Ligue AURA's inclusion was due to Spain’s success at the World Rugby U20 Trophy in July where they qualified for the U20 Championship.[1] Switzerland made an appearance for the first time since 2017, they qualified after defeating Bulgaria in a qualification play-off match earlier in April.[1][2] The Netherlands defeated Belgium in the Cup final and qualified for the 2024 World Rugby Under 20 Trophy in Scotland.[3][4]
