List of 2025 Super Rugby Pacific matches

Last updated

This article contains a list of all matches played during the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific regular season. The draw for the 30th season of Super Rugby was announced on 30 September 2024. [1] A few weeks earlier, it had been revealed that in 2025 the regular season would be extended to sixteen rounds during which each team would play fourteen games and have two byes. It was also announced that the 2025 season would feature family-friendly afternoon fixtures (including three Sunday afternoon games) and would start one week earlier than previous seasons, on Friday 14 February 2025, to fit in the extra week of round-robin games. [2] The 2025 season would again feature a "Culture Round", "Kids Round" and an "ANZAC Weekend Round". [1] [3] However, the 2025 season wouldn't include a "Super Round" (a round during the season that is hosted by one single venue; played in Melbourne since its introduction in 2022), although SANZAAR was examining options for its return the next season. [4] [5]
