2015 SARU Community Cup

The 2015 SARU Community Cup (known as the 2015 Cell C Community Cup for sponsorship reasons) will be the third season of the SARU Community Cup competition. The qualification to the tournament will take place in 2014, while the competition proper will be contested in 2015. The tournament is the top competition for non-university rugby union clubs in South Africa.[1][2]

Competition

Qualification format

Qualification to the Community Cup will be determined via the club leagues of the fourteen provincial unions, plus Blue Bulls Limpopo. All university and other tertiary institutions are ineligible to participate in the Community Cup.

The highest-placed eligible team in each of the fifteen leagues will automatically qualify to the Community Cup (league rules determined if this is after the league stages or after the title-play-offs). As holders, Rustenburg Impala are guaranteed qualification to the Community Cup. In addition, post-season play-offs will be held between runners-up in the provincial leagues to take the number of participants up to twenty.

Finals format

The format of the Community Cup is the same as the Rugby World Cup. The teams will be divided into four pools, each containing five teams. They will then play four pool games, playing other teams in their respective pools once. Each team will play two home games and two away games.

The winner and runner-up of each pool will enter the play-off stage, to be held at a central venue over the Easter long weekend each year. The play-offs will consist of quarter finals, semi-finals and the final. The winner of each pool will meet the runner-up of a different pool in a quarter final. The winner of each quarter-final will go on to the semi-finals and the semi-final winners to the final, to be held at a neutral venue.

The losing semi-finalists will play each other in the Plate final. The losing quarter finalists will meet in the Bowl semi-final, the winners of which will play in the Bowl final, the losers playing in the Shield final.[3]
