The 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season (known as Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific in Fiji and DHL Super Rugby Pacific in New Zealand) is the 29th season of Super Rugby, an annual rugby union competition organised by SANZAAR between teams from Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and a combined team from Samoa, Tonga and other Pacific Island nations. The defending champions are the Crusaders, who won their twelfth title in 2023. [1] [2] The season is scheduled to run from Friday 23 February 2024, culminating in a final expected to be played on Saturday 22 June, before the start of the 2024 mid-year international window.

Format

The competition format continues on from the previous season, with the fixture list being the only change. Twelve teams play in a round-robin format, with seven matches at home and seven away, although the second round (called "Super Round") will be played at AAMI Park , Melbourne. The fourteen games include eleven regular round-robin matches against the other participating teams and three additional "rivalry" games, in which they play another team for the second time in a home-and-away format. Each team will also have one bye week, making a total of fifteen rounds. [3]

At the conclusion of the fifteenth round, the eight highest ranked teams on the competition table will advance to the quarter-finals, in which the first-ranked team plays the eighth-ranked team, the second-ranked team plays the seventh-ranked, the third-ranked plays the sixth-ranked and the fourth-ranked team plays the fifth-ranked. The quarter-final winners progress to the semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals advance to the final. The higher ranked team will host each play-off match. [4]

The rankings on the competition table are determined by the number of competition points earned during the regular season. Competition points can be gained in the following way: four points are awarded to the winning team, two points to each team for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams can also receive a singular bonus point if they score at least three tries more than the opponent in a match, or lose by seven points or less. [4]
