The 1981–82 FIRA Trophy was the 22nd edition of a European rugby union championship for national teams.

The first division number of teams was reduced to five teams, instead of the previous six. The tournament was won by France, with three wins and a single draw, in the final game, a 10–10 draw with Soviet Union abroad. France only awarded caps in their 17–9 win over the strong side of Romania. Italy finished in 2nd place, with two wins, a draw and a loss, ahead of Romania, who had two wins and two losses. Soviet Union finished in a disappointing 4th place, not being able to win a single game.
