The 2016 Provincial Cup[note 1] is a South African rugby union competition organised by the South African Rugby Union which will be played between 9 April and 23 July 2016. It will feature all fourteen South African provincial unions plus the Welwitschias from Namibia and will also serve as a qualifying competition for the 2016 Currie Cup, the 78th edition of South Africa's premier domestic rugby union competition. Nine teams from this competition will play in the 2016 Currie Cup Premier Division, while the remaining six teams will play in the 2016 Currie Cup First Division.

Competition rules and information

All fifteen teams in the competition will play against each other once over the course of the qualification competition, either at home or away. Teams will receive four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points will be awarded to teams that score 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lose a match by 7 points or less. Teams will be ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The six main teams affiliated to Super Rugby franchises – Blue Bulls, Eastern Province Kings, Free State XV, Golden Lions XV, Sharks XV and Western Province – will automatically qualify to the 2016 Currie Cup Premier Division, along with the three highest-ranked non-franchise teams. The remaining six teams will qualify to the 2016 Currie Cup First Division.[2] Points from the qualification stage will not be carried over to the second stage.

Notes

  1. The competition was initially called Currie Cup Qualifying. However, this was changed to the Provincial Cup on the South African Rugby Union website shortly before the competition started;[1] the reason for this is a delay in finalising a sponsorship agreement. Once in place, the competition will be renamed to reflect the sponsor's name. However, the format of the competition will be unaffected.
