The 2009–10 Heineken Cup is the fifteenth edition of the Heineken Cup, the annual rugby union European club competition for clubs from the top six nations in European rugby. It started in October 2009 and will end on 22 May 2010 with the final at Stade de France in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis.[1]
Teams
Seven English teams will participate, as an English team, Leicester Tigers, progressed further in the previous year's tournament than any French or Italian team. France have six participants, Ireland three, Wales three, Italy two and Scotland two.
On Friday 29 May 2009, Newport Gwent Dragons defeated Calvisano 42-17 in a play-off to secure the 24th and final qualification place.[2]
England | France | Wales | Ireland | Scotland | Italy |

Seeding
The seeding system will be the same as in the 2008-09 tournament. The 24 competing teams are ranked based on past Heineken Cup and European Challenge Cup performance, with each pool receiving one team from each quartile, or Tier.[3] The requirement to have only one team per country in each pool will, however, still apply (with the exception of the inclusion of the seventh English team).[4]
The brackets show each team's European Rugby Club Ranking at the start of the 2009–10 season.
Tier 1 | Munster (Ireland) (1) | Leicester Tigers (2) | Leinster (Ireland) (3) | Toulouse (4) | Bath (5) | Biarritz (6) |
