The Scotland national Club XV rugby union team is one of several national rugby union teams behind the Scottish national side.
The national Club XV takes the best players from club rugby in Scotland to form a side that regularly competes with a similar Ireland Club XV. The two teams play each other annually for the Dalriada Cup.
The Scotland Club XV side also regularly play with the similar England Counties XV since 2014. The French also have a Club XV side named the France Federale which the Scotland Club XV have played. Scotland Club XV has also played a Wales Club XV.
The Scotland Club XV squad was always selected with players that primarily played for their amateur clubs. Since season 2019–20 - when the Super 6 started in Scotland, as a lower level professional league - that meant that players had to be selected from the Scottish League Championship, and thus all players selected that season came from its top leagues: the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish National League Division One.
With the disbandment of the Super 6 league in 2024, the players are still selected from the amateur leagues of the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish National League Division One.
History The Club XV international fixture began in 2006 when Scotland played their Irish Club XV counterparts in Donnybrook.
The match was played on 10 March 2006. Ireland Club XV won the match 30-13.
It has since been relished by the amateur club players. Former Club XV player Rory McKay, previously of Glasgow Warriors, explained: "It gives club players something higher to aim for that previously wasn't there, while others may see it as a stepping stone to the pro game. A few years ago club players often felt they had hit a ceiling and couldn't go any further, but the thought of club international selection has upped the intensity."
Current season The Club XV fixture returned in February 2026 with a Dalriada Cup match against Ireland Club XV.
