The Quilter Cup (formerly the Old Mutual Wealth Cup) is a rugby union trophy awarded to the winner of the annual test/non-test match between England and other home nations as well as Barbarians. It is currently the Barbarians since their victory in 2022.
Creation of the trophy was revealed on 2 December 2015 when RFU announced a four-year partnership with Old Mutual Wealth, part of Old Mutual.[1]
The inaugural Old Mutual Wealth Cup match was won by England, who beat Wales 27–13 at Twickenham Stadium on 29 May 2016.[2]
From 2018 the competition was renamed to reflect the new name of the sponsor Quilter plc.[3]
