The 2009 Air New Zealand Cup is the 33rd provincial rugby union competition, the fourth since the competition reconstruction in 2006, involving the top 14 provincial unions from New Zealand. The round-robin will run from 30 July to 25 October, the semi-finals on 30 and 31 October and the Grand Final on 7 November. Unlike previous seasons the 2009 Air New Zealand Cup will not have quarter-finals, instead going straight to the semi-finals with the top four teams rather than the top eight.[1] The Rugby Union Bonus Points System will be used to determine which teams will go on to the finals.
It will be the last Air New Zealand Cup, by name and format, as the New Zealand Rugby Union has restructured the domestic competition with three divisions, the Premier Division with ten teams, the First Division with six teams, and the Heartland Championship also with ten participants; this means that four teams in this year's competition will be relegated to the First Division whilst two Heartland teams will be promoted to the First Division.
The participation of the financially troubled Tasman union was confirmed in December 2008 when they managed to obtain sufficient additional funding.[2]

The Round Robin will run from 30 July to 25 October, with 13 rounds of play and seven games to each round.
