Club Rugby

There has been explosive growth in regional club rugby since the sport turned professional a little over a decade ago. From precarious beginnings, many top clubs and regional teams have grown in financial power. This has resulted in top-level clubs and regional teams now boasting some of the strongest sides in the sport.

Regional Club Rugby Championships

During the past decade both the northern and southern hemispheres have developed major regional championships, pitting the strongest clubs and provinces against one another in high profile tournaments.

• The Super 14: The Super 14 showcases the talents of the top regional sides in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. This round robin tournament is one of the most gruelling and competitive in the sport.
• The Heineken Cup: Europe’s answer to the Super 14 is an intriguing knockout competition featuring the 24 highest ranked clubs in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy.
• The Magners League: Also known as the Celtic League, the Magners League draws together the top provincial and club sides in Ireland, Scotland and Wales in a highly competitive league tournament.

Domestic Club Rugby Championships

Club rugby has deep roots in several countries, where a domestic league win is considered to be a highlight in any rugby player’s career. The strongest, most competitive leagues are found in the world’s top rugby playing nations.

• The Guinness Premiership: The Guinness Premiership is the home of the elite English rugby clubs. Twelve teams participate in a competition in order to qualify for the semi-finals of England’s biggest domestic rugby competition.
• The Top 14: France’s biggest rugby league is also one of the best supported in the world, with the Top 14 boasting the biggest single match attendance figure for any sport in French history. The rugby is fast and classy, and culminates in a knock-out stage contested by the top four teams in the league.
• The Currie Cup: This is the oldest and most prestigious provincial rugby championship in the world, with the Premier Division contested by the eight most powerful provincial sides in South Africa. The competition attracts the biggest domestic league crowds in the sport.
