Europese Rugby Champions Cup teamgegevens 2018-19

October 12, 2018 - May 11, 2019 - Het nieuwe European Rugby Heineken Champions Cup-seizoen begint met 20 eliteteams uit Ierland, Frankrijk, Engeland, Schotland en Wales die vechten om de kampioenskroon. De Ierse teams Munster en Leinster pronken met de beste overall resultaten, en het Franse team van Toulouse heeft het hoogste aantal punten gescoord.

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.
