2008–10 European Nations Cup Third Division


The 2008–2010 European Nations Cup Third Division will be contested over two years during which all teams meet each other home and away. The Third Division consists of four levels, which effectively constitute the 5th through 8th levels of European international rugby. The winner of each division will be promoted to the next highest division. Due to changes in the competition, the last placed team will not be relegated to the next division lower.
The leader of each division at the end of the 2008–2009 season will have the opportunity to participate in the qualification for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The previous champion of Division 3A, Sweden, was promoted to the Second Division and replaced with relegated side Andorra.
