Champions Cup</b> (known as the <b><a href="/wiki/Investec" title="Investec">Investec</a> Champions Cup</b> for sponsorship reasons) is an annual <a href="/wiki/Rugby_union" title="Rugby union">rugby union</a> tournament organised by <a href="/wiki/European_Professional_Club_Rugby" title="European Professional Club Rugby">European Professional Club Rugby</a> (EPCR). It is the top-tier competition for clubs who compete in a predominantly European league. Clubs qualify for the Champions Cup via their final positions in their respective national/regional leagues (<a href="/wiki/Premiership_Rugby" title="Premiership Rugby">English Premiership</a>, French <a href="/wiki/Top_14" title="Top 14">Top 14</a>, and <a href="/wiki/United_Rugby_Championship" title="United Rugby Championship">United Rugby Championship</a>) or via winning the second-tier <a href="/wiki/European_Rugby_Challenge_Cup" class="mw-redirect" title="European Rugby Challenge Cup">Challenge Cup</a>; those that do not qualify are instead eligible to compete in the second-tier Challenge Cup. </p><p>Between 1995 and 2014, the equivalent competition was known as the <b>Heineken Cup</b> and was run by <a href="/wiki/European_Rugby_Cup" title="European Rugby Cup">European Rugby Cup</a>. Following <a href="#Disagreements_over_structure_&_governance">disagreements</a> between its shareholders over the structure and governance of the competition, it was taken over by EPCR and its name was changed to the European Rugby Champions Cup, without title sponsorship. Heineken returned as sponsor for the 2018–19 season, resulting in the competition being known as the Heineken Champions Cup. Although they are technically two separate competitions, run by different organisations, the European Rugby Cup and the European Rugby Champions Cup are recognised as one title chain of elite club championships in Europe, with teams that have won multiple titles ranked, for example, by the aggregate of their wins in both versions. </p><p>French clubs have the highest number of victories (12 wins), followed by England (10 wins) and Ireland (7 wins). England has the largest number of winning teams, with six clubs having won the title.

In this edition, the teams were split up into two separate pools of 12, in which they would play four games against opponents from their pool, before the top four teams from each of the two pools advanced to the knockout stage, made up of two-legged quarterfinals, and a single legged semi-finals and final. However, due to the increasing spread of the virus, only two rounds were played before the competition was suspended, and instead the top eight teams from each of the two pools advanced to the knockout stage, with all matches being single-legged affairs. </p><p>A similar format remained for <a href="/wiki/2021%E2%80%9322_European_Rugby_Champions_Cup" title="2021–22 European Rugby Champions Cup">2021–22</a>, with the top eight teams from each of the two pools advancing to the knockout stage, which featured a two-legged Round of 16 before a single-legged quarterfinals, semi-finals and final.
