Get ready for an exciting battle as we announce the nominees for the prestigious Team of the Year award at the 2025 Sports Personality Awards! This year's contenders are truly remarkable, and the competition is fierce.
A Celebration of Triumphs and Milestones
But here's where it gets controversial... or at least, where opinions might diverge. We have three incredible teams representing different sports and achievements, each with a unique story to tell.
First up, we have the Lionesses, England's women's football team, who made history by becoming European champions in a thrilling penalty shootout against Spain. This victory marked a significant milestone, as they became the first senior England football team to lift a major trophy on foreign soil. Their resilience and determination, coupled with some dramatic substitute interventions, led them to retain the Euros title, an achievement only matched by one other nation.
Next, we introduce the Red Roses, England's women's rugby union team, who dominated the Women's Rugby World Cup. In a spectacular display, they defeated Canada in front of a world-record crowd, claiming the trophy for the first time since 2014. Their journey was remarkable, breaking their own record for the longest unbeaten run by an international rugby union side, and extending it to an impressive 33 matches without a loss.
And this is the part most people miss... the Red Roses' success didn't stop there. Earlier in 2025, they achieved an incredible fourth consecutive Six Nations Grand Slam and their seventh consecutive title.
Lastly, we have the European Ryder Cup team, who showcased their prowess on US soil, claiming the cup for only the fifth time in history. Their victory was a testament to their skill and composure, as they navigated a thrilling American resurgence and a hostile New York crowd.
The Europeans have now triumphed in six of the past eight Ryder Cups, a remarkable achievement in itself.
