=== Rivalry trophies === Several individual competitions take place under the umbrella of the tournament. Some of these trophies are also awarded for other matches between the two teams outside the Six Nations. Only Scotland play for a 'rivalry' or challenge trophy in every Six Nations match, as well as for the oldest such trophy, the [[Calcutta Cup]]. Wales became the last nation to contest such a trophy, the [[Doddie Weir Cup]] in 2018, while the newest such trophy is the [[Cuttitta Cup]] introduced between Scotland and Italy in 2022. Games which form part of the Triple Crown are marked <sup>TC</sup>. {|class="wikitable" !Trophy!!Teams!!Since!!Notes |- | [[Calcutta Cup]] || EnglandāScotland<sup>TC</sup> || 1879<ref name="CalcuttaCup">{{cite web|url=http://www.scottishrugby.org/shadomx/apps/fms/fmsdownload.cfm?file_uuid=A25BAF90-A653-B702-1F28-A89E8D4D5CD8&siteName=sru |title=The Calcutta Cup: the legacy of a club that died |publisher=Scottish Rugby|access-date=29 September 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070214034619/http://www.scottishrugby.org/shadomx/apps/fms/fmsdownload.cfm?file_uuid=A25BAF90-A653-B702-1F28-A89E8D4D5CD8&siteName=sru |archive-date=14 February 2007 }}</ref> || Made from melted-down Indian rupees donated by the Calcutta Club |- | [[Millennium Trophy]] || EnglandāIreland<sup>TC</sup> || 1988 || Presented to celebrate [[Dublin's millennium]] in 1988<ref name="RFUAboutUs">{{cite web|url=http://www.rfu.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/RFUHome.Simple_Detail/StoryTypeId/26/SectionId/43 |title=About Us |publisher=Rugby Football Union|access-date=29 September 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070906075533/http://www.rfu.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/RFUHome.Simple_Detail/StoryTypeId/26/SectionId/43 |archive-date=6 September 2007 }}</ref> |- | [[Centenary Quaich]] || IrelandāScotland<sup>TC</sup> || 1989<ref name="NeverIresQuaich">{{cite news |title=Lamenting the sad decline of the fighting Irish |newspaper=The Scotsman |date=19 February 2000 |page=31 |last=Massie |first=Alan}}</ref><ref name="QuaichAnnual">{{cite news |title=Scotland now have quality in quantity |work=The Herald|date=22 March 1999 |page=1 |last=Ferrie |first=Kevin}}</ref><ref name="quaich">{{cite news |title=Scots torn apart by Irish mean machine |newspaper=The Sunday Times |date=13 February 2005|page=Sport 2 |last=Walsh |first=David}}</ref> || Named for the [[quaich]], a traditional [[Gaels|Gaelic]] drinking vessel.
