Récords de equipos de la Champions Cup Europea de Rugby 2018-19
October 12, 2018 - May 11, 2019 - Arranca la nueva temporada de Heineken Champions Cup de rugby de Europa con 20 equipos de élite de Irlanda, Francia, Inglaterra, Escocia y Gales que compiten por coronarse campeones. Los equipos irlandeses Munster y Leinster ostentan los mejores récords totales del torneo, mientras que el equipo francés Toulouse ha anotado el mayor número de puntos.
Reigning champions Leinster face fellow four-time winners Toulouse, Wasps, and Bath in the pool stages, while 2018 finalists Racing 92 take on Scarlets, Leicester Tigers and Ulster.
In June 2018 European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) announced the return of Heineken as title sponsor of its top tier club tournament in a new four year deal starting from the 2018-19 season. The tournament will be re-named the Heineken Champions Cup.
It marks a return for the premium Dutch beer brand as headline sponsor after a four-year period of absence when the competition went without a top tier partner following its relaunch. The European Champions Cup succeeded the Heineken Cup tournament which ran from 1995 to 2014.
