About

SA Cup

The SA Cup was established in 2024, replacing the Mzansi Challenge to fill an important gap between pre-season and the start of the Carling Currie Cup Premier and First Division competitions. Suzuki Griquas were crowned the first champions of the SA Cup, capping off an unbeaten season with a 46-24 victory over the Airlink Pumas in the final in Kimberley. They will be joined in 2025 by the NovaVit Griffons, Toyota Cheetahs, Sanlam Boland Kavaliers, Valke, Leopards, Phangela SWD Eagles, Eastern Province and Border Bulldogs, with the top four teams qualifying for the Carling Currie Cup Premier Division along with the four Vodacom URC franchises. The competition is scheduled to start on the weekend of 8 March and will conclude with the semi-finals (17 May) and final (24 May).
