The "Triple Crown" is awarded when one of the four British and Irish teams beats the other three. The Grand Slam is said to occur when a team wins all of its matches. A team that loses all of its matches is said to have won the "Wooden Spoon" (although this phrase is also used to describe teams finishing last, regardless of whether they lost all their matches). All three titles were awarded in 2005; Wales won the Grand Slam and Triple Crown, while Italy were left with the Wooden Spoon.
