The winners of this year's tournament will be presented with an identical exhibition trophy.
The current trophy, made out of silver, was created in 2015 to "reflect the tournament's evolution".
In a statement the Six Nations said: "A new trophy will be commissioned in the same design as the original, with materials from the original being incorporated into the new trophy, ensuring its history is respectfully transferred to the new creation.
"The new trophy will take approximately 365 hours of skilled craftsmanship to create, meaning it will be unveiled ahead of the 2027 championship."
