The Europe Cup 1954 was the fifth Rugby Union European championship, organised by FIRA and the second (and last) with this name.
With the exception of a preliminary, all the matches were played in Italy. As in the 1952 edition, France won the title after a victory over Italy in the final.
This was the last edition of this competition. A European tournament arranged by FIRA, returned only in 1965 with the Nations Cup.
After an Italian try in the first minute, France took control of the match and won.
