2010 Six Nations Championship finished in fifth and sixth positions for the third tournament in a row. Both teams achieved just one victory each, with Scotland also recording a draw in the Calcutta Cup match against England to place ahead of Italy. The reigning champions on entering the tournament were Ireland, who won the Grand Slam and Triple Crown in 2009.
