Amlin Challenge Cup 2010/11

The Amlin Challenge Cup includes 20 top flight teams from six countries competing in five Pools of four teams each.  The knock-out stages of future Amlin Challenge Cup tournaments will now include three teams who will qualify through the Heineken Cup as Pool runners-up.

Five Pools containing four European teams shape the competition, with the top side from each Pool progressing to the quarter finals stages. The three highest second place finishers will make up the teams competing at the next stage.
