Italy Azzurri Jerseys

From Flaminio to Olimpico: the Azzurri in the Tournament

Italy made its debut in the Tournament in 2000, which then became the Six Nations Tournament, and beat Scotland thirty-four to twenty in their first match at the Flaminio Stadium in Rome. The Azzurri moved to the Stadio Olimpico in 2012. Long led by Sergio Parisse, back row of Stade Français and a key figure for nearly two decades, they reached new heights in 2024, with victories over Scotland and Wales and a hard-fought draw with France in Lille.

The azure blue of the House of Savoy and its hidden details

The jersey is azure blue, the colour of the House of Savoy, adopted by Italian teams in all sports, hence the nickname Azzurri. The away jersey is usually white. Since 2017, Macron, the Bologna-based equipment supplier of the national team, has drawn on Italian culture: the Renaissance, Michelangelo, or the national anthem have inspired patterns woven into the fabric or on the collar's reverse. These details, often invisible from afar, give each Italian jersey a more refined dimension than it seems at first glance.

Authentic, supporter, cotton or training: which Italian jersey

The authentic version mimics the players' cut, fitted and lightweight, designed for contact. The supporter version, more spacious, is the most versatile. The cotton jerseys, softer to the touch and more casual in appearance, can be worn as everyday wear and suit those who do not play. The training jersey for the Tournament, simpler, made from breathable material, accompanies sports sessions and leaves the match jersey for game days. For the authentic, choose one size up for a looser fit.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Italian rugby progressing?

Thanks to its two professional franchises, Benetton Treviso and the Zebre from Parma, competing in the United Rugby Championship, and a generation of seasoned players in France, such as Paolo Garbisi or Ange Capuozzo.

What size of Italy jersey for a child?

Children's sizes correspond to age ranges. For a child who is tall for their age or in growth, the next size up ensures a jersey that lasts more than one Tournament.

Where does Italy play its November tests?

The Tournament is played in Rome, but autumn tests often travel across the country, from Genoa to Turin, Udine or Padua. These matches allow northern supporters to see the Azzurri close to home.

What does FIR mean on the jersey?

These are the initials of the Federazione Italiana Rugby, the Italian federation founded in 1928. Its emblem appears on the chest of all national team jerseys, from seniors to youth teams.

How to wash a cotton jersey?

At thirty degrees, inside out, with a colour detergent. Cotton may shrink slightly: avoid the tumble dryer and lay it flat to dry to maintain its shape and the clarity of its logos.
