Montpellier Hérault Rugby And Ulster Rugby Qualify For EPCR Challenge Cup Final

 

After a thrilling weekend of semi-final action, Montpellier Hérault Rugby and Ulster Rugby are the only two sides left standing as Bilbao prepares to welcome the EPCR Challenge Cup Final.

Ulster Rugby were the first side through to the EPCR Challenge Cup Final 2026 on Saturday when they overcame Exeter Chiefs in a tight encounter in Northern Ireland.

Montpellier Hérault Rugby then joined the Irish side by booking their spot in Bilbao's Final just 24 hours later when they saw off Dragons RFC in Montpellier.

Just two sides remain in the tournament now as the Finalists are confirmed for 22 May. An unforgettable trip to Bilbao awaits for the pair as the Final returns to Spain for the first time since 2018.

Ultimate glory is up for grabs for Montpellier Hérault Rugby and Ulster on Friday, 22 May 2026, 21:00 (SA Time)
