European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) Finals Weekend Hospitality – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 2024
Investec Champions Cup
The prestigious Investec Champions Cup is coming to the 62,850 capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the very first time on Saturday 25th May 2024. The best teams in European Rugby will be coming face to face looking for the glory of winning the title.
It has been almost 30 years since the very first Champions Cup, now known as the Investec Champions Cup, which took place in the 1995/96 season at the National Stadium (Cardiff Arms Park) in Cardiff. The inaugural final saw Toulouse face Cardiff RFC, and it was the French side who emerged as 21 – 18 winners after extra time in front of a 21,800 strong crowd.
Interestingly, English and Scottish teams did not participate in the tournament initially, but teams from these nations did start competing in the Champions Cup in the 1996/97 season. It was the Leicester Tigers who were the first English side to make the final, only to lost 28 – 9 to Brive at the National Stadium.
The following season’s tournament saw Bath become the first English side to win the Investec Cup, beating holders Brive 19-18 in a very tight match at the Parc Lescure in Bordeaux.
Ulster were then the winners in 1998/99, but English sides were then dominant between 1999 and 2002, when the Leicester Tigers won the tournament twice (2000/01 & 2001/02),with the Northampton Saints also experiencing glory in 1999/00.
It was not until the 2014/15 season that the competition became the Heineken Champions Cup, but as of 2024 it is now known as the Investec Champions Cup.
The first final since the name change was played in front of a 56,622 strong crowd at Twickenham which saw Toulon emerge 24 – 18 victors against fellow French club Clermont. English clubs then went on to win four of the next five tournaments between 2015 and 2020. Saracens won the title 3 times in this period (2015/16, 2016/17 & 2018/19), with the Exeter Chiefs also being declared champions in 2019/20.
Following Toulouse’s win in 2020/21, the most recent final was contested between La Rochelle and Leinster. It was the French side who won the title in the end, beating Leinster 24 – 21 at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille.
It is indeed Toulouse who have won the Investec Champions Cup the most times with 5 wins in total (1995/96, 2002/03, 2004/05, 2009/10 & 2020/21). They are closely followed by Leinster (4 – 2008/09, 2010/11, 2011/12 & 2017/18) and Saracens (3 – 2015/16, 2016/17 & 2018/19).
We have now reached the semi-finals of the 2023/24 Investec Champions Cup, and below we take a look at all four teams that have reached this stage of the competition, with all of them now just one step away from the illustrious Final. Who do you think will go on to win the Champions Cup?
Stade Toulousain
Stade Toulousain have enjoyed a tremendous amount of success in the Investec Champions Cup over the years, and they are currently the club who have won this competition the most times to date with a total of 5 title wins over the years. This year, they have reached the 2024 semi-finals where they are going to face Harlequins.
Back in the inaugural edition of this tournament back in 1995/96, Stade Toulousain were crowned as the first-ever winners after a tense and competitive 21 – 18 victory in extra time against Cardiff. The French side then went on to win the Champions Cup in 2002/03 (22 – 17 vs. Perpignan), 2004/05 (18 – 12 vs. Stade Francais), 2009/10 (21 – 19 vs. Biarritz) and most recently in 2020/21, where they were 21 – 17 winners against La Rochelle at Twickenham.
This year, Stade Toulousain are on track to win this competition again, having once again reached the semi-finals. Ahead of their battle against Harlequins, they have had to negotiate victories against several tough opponents.
They began in Pool 2, where they faced Cardiff Rugby in their opening game. This was a very comfortable win for Ugo Mola’s side, who managed to emerge as emphatic 52 – 7 winners at the Stade Ernest Wallon. The aforementioned Harlequins were beaten 47 – 19 at Twickenham before Ulster were also beaten by their French counterparts in the penultimate Pool 2 game.
Stade Toulousain rounded off their Pool 2 campaign with a comfortable 31 – 19 win against Bath Rugby. Mola and his team were then drawn against Racing 92 in the Round of 16. They made light work of their fellow French team, beating them 31 – 7 on 7th April 2024.
This led them to their most recent match in the 2023/24 Investec Champions Cup against the Exeter Chiefs on Sunday 14th April. Stade Toulousain proved to be in ruthless form again, securing an incredible 64 – 26 win at the Stade Ernest Wallon to set up a tie with Harlequins in the semi-final at the Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday 5th May 2024.
Harlequins
Whilst their semi-final opponents Stade Toulousain have won the Investec Champions Cup on the most occasions, Harlequins have never won this competition. In fact, to get to this stage they emerged as 42 – 41 winners against Union Bordeaux-Begles at the Stade Chaban-Delmas on Saturday 13th April. This was a surprise victory with many expected Bordeaux to progress to the semi-finals. Additionally, this is the first time that Harlequins have made it to the semi-finals of this competition in its almost 30-year history.
Danny Wilson’s Harlequins began their 2023/24 Champions Cup campaign with a tight and tense 31 – 28 victory against Racing 92 at the Paris La Defense Arena on Sunday 10th December 2023. A 47 – 19 defeat against Stade Toulousain did then follow, however, they bounced back immediately in some style against Cardiff in their penultimate Pool 2 game, beating them 54 – 15.
A final Pool 2 game then saw Wilson’s side come face to face with Ulster at Twickenham, where they were emphatic winners once again with a 47 – 19 scoreline. This saw Harlequins drawn against the Glasgow Warriors in the Round Of 16.
They managed to continue their dream run in this season’s Investec Champions Cup with a tight and competitive 28 – 24 success against their Scottish Counterparts at Twickenham, setting them up with a game against heavyweights Bordeaux in the semi-final. As mentioned earlier, an incredible and historic 42 – 41 win for Wilson and his team set up a first-ever appearance in the semi-finals, where they’ll play against Stade Toulousain.
Leinster Rugby
Leinster Rugby are no strangers to success in the Investec Champions Cup. Over the years, they have won this competition on no less than 4 occasions, with their most recent win coming in 2017/18, where they were 15 – 12 winners against Racing 92 at the San Mames Stadium in the Spanish city of Bilbao.
We have to rewind back to 2008/09 to find Leinster’s inaugural victory in the Champions Cup, and that year they were 19 – 16 winners at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield against the Leicester Tigers in front of a 66,523-strong crowd.
Then followed two consecutive victories in this competition – in 2010/11 and 2011/12. The first of these two title wins came in the form of a 33 – 22 success against the Northampton Saints at the Millennium Stadium before beating Ulster 42 – 14 in the following year’s final at Twickenham.
Then of course came Leinster’s most recent Champions Cup win against Racing 92 in 2017/18. They have since appeared in three finals, losing to Saracens in 2018/19 and La Rochelle twice in a row in 2021/22 and 2022/23. They will now be looking to reach the final and go one step further this time around.
In the 2023/24 edition of the Investec Champions Cup, they began their campaign with a 16 – 9 Pool 4 victory against Stade Rochelais in December 2023, before going on to making it two wins in two against Sale Sharks, beating them 37 – 27 at the RDS Arena. They would go on to win all four of their Pool matches after also beating Stade Francais Paris 43 – 7 and the Leicester Tigers 27 – 10.
Leinster’s Round of 16 opponents saw them come face to face with the Leicester Tigers once more, this time at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. Lo Cullen’s side managed to emerge victorious once more, this time winning by a margin of 36 – 22 to set up their Quarter Final clash with Stade Rochelais.
An emphatic 40 – 13 win saw them comfortably book their place in the Semi-Finals, where they will face the Northampton Saints at Croke Park.
Northampton Saints
The Northampton Saints won their first and so far only Investec Champions Cup trophy back in 1999/00 after they were able to emerge as 9 – 8 winners against Munster in a tense but enthralling game in front of a 68,441-strong crowd at Twickenham. They have made the final since then – this came in 2010/11 when they were defeated 33 – 22 by Leinster at the Millennium Stadium.
They have also made it to the semi-finals of this season’s competition, where they are going to face Leinster at Croke Park. Northampton are currently the leaders of the Premiership, and this is set to be their first appearance at this stage of the Champions Cup since 2011.
Glasgow Warriors were the Northampton Saints’ first opponents in Pool 3, and it was to be a comfortable 28 – 19 victory against their Scottish counterparts on 8th December 2023 at the Scotstoun Stadium. Another victory then followed a week later, this time against RC Toulon, who they beat 22 – 19.
And, just like their semi-final opponents, the Northampton Saints went on to win all four of their Pool matches, beating Aviron Bayonnais 61 – 14 before emerging as 26 – 23 winners in a tense game at Thomond Park on Saturday 20th January 2024. This draw for the Round of 16 saw Northampton Saints come face to face with Munster once more, this time beating them by a margin of 24 – 14 at the Cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens on 7th April 2024.
The draw for the Quarter Final of the 2023/24 Investec Champions Cup saw the Vodacom Bulls become their next opponents on their quest for a place in this season’s final. In the end, an emphatic 59 – 22 victory on Saturday 13th April meant that the Northampton Saints had comfortably secured a place in the upcoming Champions Cup Semi-Finals, where they will be facing Leinster at Croke Park in Dublin.
There is no better way to experience what is set to be an enthralling and tense Investec Champions Cup Final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium between two of European Rugby’s best teams than with an Eventmasters VIP Hospitality Package. Experience all of the action in some style with Eventmasters.
EPCR Challenge Cup
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be hosting the prestigious EPCR Challenge Cup for the very first time on Friday 24th May 2024. 18 of the best teams in European Rugby will be competing to be declared as champions.
The very first EPCR Challenge Cup took place in the 1996/97 season, when it was known as the European Challenge Cup. The inaugural final took place at the Stade de la Méditerranée between Bourgoin and Castres – Bourgoin emerged as 18 – 9 winners in front of a 10,000 strong crowd.
French clubs won the first four Challenge Cup Finals. Following Bourgoin, Colomiers (43 – 5 vs. Agen in 1997/98), Montferrand (35 – 16 vs. Bourgoin in 1998/99) and Pau (34 – 21 vs. Castres in 1999/00) all tasted glory.
Between 2000 and 2006, it was the turn of English clubs to experience a period of dominance. Out of the 6 Challenge Cup Finals, Harlequins (2000/01 & 2003/04) and Sale (2001/02 & 2004/05) both won twice, with Wasps (2002/03) and Gloucester (2005/06) both winning the final once each.
It took until the 2009/10 Challenge Cup for a club not from England or France to win the tournament. It was Cardiff RFC who were the first Welsh side to win the final, beating 28 – 21 against Toulon at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille.
The name of the competition changed to the European Rugby Challenge Cup in the 2014/15 season, with Gloucester beating Edinburgh 19 – 13 at the Twickenham Stoop in the first final since the name changed.
French clubs then resumed their dominance of the competition between 2015 and 2022. Montpellier narrowly beat the Leicester Tigers 18 – 17 at Twickenham in 2020/21 before Lyon tasted glory in the latest Challenge Cup Final in 2021/22, beating fellow French side Toulon at the Stade de Marseille.
The only non-French teams to win the tournament between 2015 and 2022 was Cardiff RFC (31 – 30 vs. Gloucester in 2017/18) and the Bristol Bears (32 – 19 vs. Toulon in 2019/20).
Clermont have won the EPCR Challenge Cup the most times with 3 wins (1998/99, 2006/07 & 2018/19. The French club are closely followed by the likes of Harlequins (2000/01, 2003/04 & 2010/11) and Gloucester (2005/06 & 2014/15), who have 3 and 2 wins respectively.
There is no better way to experience what is set to be an enthralling and entertaining Challenge Cup Final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than with an Eventmasters VIP EPCR Challenge Cup Hospitality Package. Experience all of the action in some style with Eventmasters.
