Ireland are the 6/4 favourites to win this year's Six Nations Championship
Betting odds are now given on the 2025 Six Nations Championship with the tournament getting underway on January 31 and UK Betting Sites have a favourite in a tight market.
Ireland lead the betting odds to win the Six Nations for the third successive tournament and therefore make history to become the first team to win the title three times in-a-row.
The Irish side will be without boss Andy Farrell as he is preparing for his role with the British and Irish Lions in Australia later this year so assistant coach Simon Easterby will step up and take charge.
France were the last team who won before Ireland and they are expected to give the Irish tough competition at the tournament with Betway putting them just behind Ireland in the current odds list.
| Six Nations 2025 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ireland | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| France | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| England | 13/4 | 23.5% |
| Scotland | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Wales | 50/1 | 2.0% |
| Italy | 100/1 | 1.0% |

France follow closely behind in market with some bookmakers even putting them as favourites
The latest betting market across the board from various bookmakers has either Ireland or France as favourites to win the tournament with some big name bookies, such as Paddy Power, putting France above Ireland in the odds list.
France finished second behind Ireland in last year's event and they were without captain Antoine Dupont who chose to focus on the Paris Olympics during the summer instead.
Fast forward a year later though and Dupont is looking to lead his country into Six Nations history by beating the dominant Ireland side and winning the tournament.
France will kick off this year's Six Nations at home to Wales next Friday with a huge display expected to show they mean business.

20-minute red cards will be used for first time at Six Nations
This year's Six Nations tournament will see the introduction of 20-minute red cards for the first time after the move was successfully trialled back in the Autumn Nations Cup.
The move sees sides able to replace the player who is sent off after 20-minutes and will punish the player more than the team.
Full red card's will still be available to be used by referees for serious fouls but it's expected that the 20-minute red card will be used more often to encourage a more competitive game.
