	Reference for Heineken Cup - Search.com
		The Heineken Cup is an annual rugby union competition involving leading club, regional and provincial teams from the six International Rugby Board (IRB) tier one nations in Europe: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.
		However, the European Rugby Cup, which organises the competition, may allow exceptions, such as with Biarritz, located in a city less than 20km from the Spanish border, being allowed to host their 2006 semi-final across the border at Estadio Anoeta in Donostia-San Sebastián (which is the nearest stadium to Biarritz with a suitable capacity).
		The Heineken Cup was launched in the summer of 1995 on the initiative of the then Five Nations Committee to provide a new level of professional cross border competition.
