European Championship

The Georgian team has been a regular competitor at the

European Under-18 Rugby Union Championship
, playing in the A division with moderate success for the most part. The team's greatest achievement came in 2010 when it finished third, behind France and Ireland, beating Belgium in the third-place game.
