ERC was created in 1995, following the advent of professionalism, by the then Five Nations Committee. </p><p>In 2012, Premiership Rugby and LNR, on behalf of the English and French clubs respectively, notified ERC that they would be withdrawing from the accord governing the competition, being dissatisfied with the organisation of the competition and the distribution of funding. Premiership Rugby subsequently refused to join any new agreement in which ERC remained organisers of European rugby tournaments. </p><p>On April 10, 2014 it was announced that the nine stakeholders with an interest in continuing major European club competition had come to an agreement for new competitions. Under the new agreement, ERC was wound up, and a new body, European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR), would be created to organise three new competitions, <a href="/wiki/European_Rugby_Champions_Cup" title="European Rugby Champions Cup">European Rugby Champions Cup</a>, the <a href="/wiki/European_Rugby_Challenge_Cup" class="mw-redirect" title="European Rugby Challenge Cup">European Rugby Challenge Cup</a>, and the third tier Qualifying Competition, beginning with the 2014/15 season.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Shortly after the establishment of EPCR, it was announced that the running of the inaugural 2014/15 tournament was to be handled in conjunction with ERC, the organisation it had been meant to replace, to facilitate a smooth transition. This was despite the latter having been described by chairman of Premiership Rugby, Quentin Smith, as "no longer fit for purpose".
