South African Rugby 2014

The 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division was the 76th season in the competition since it started in 1889 and was contested from 9 August to 25 October 2014. The tournament (known as the Absa Currie Cup Premier Division for sponsorship reasons) is the top tier of South Africa's premier domestic rugby union competition.

Competition[edit]

There was eight participating teams in the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division. A proposed expansion to eight teams[1] was initially rejected,[2] but was then subsequently approved on 13 February 2014.[3][4]

Qualification[edit]

Main article: 2014 Currie Cup qualification

The six franchise 'anchor' teams plus the Pumas automatically qualified to the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division, plus the winner of a qualifying tournament between the other seven teams.

Regular season and title playoffs[edit]

The eight teams were divided into two sections, based on their 2013 positions. Teams in each section played each other twice over the course of the season, once at home and once away. Teams also played cross-section matches, playing one match (either home or away) against the teams in the other sections.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by 7 points or less. Teams were ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top 4 teams qualified for the title play-offs. In the semi-finals, the team that finished first had home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second had home advantage against the team that finished third. The winners of these semi-finals played each other in the final, at the home venue of the higher-placed team.

Relegation playoffs[edit]

Non-franchise teams finishing in the bottom two would be included in the qualification rounds for the following season.
