Currie Cup

The Currie Cup tournament is South Africa’s 🇿🇦 premier domestic rugby union competition, featuring teams representing either entire provinces or substantial regions within provinces. See below for the latest Currie Cup Predictions.

Steeped in history and tradition, the Currie Cup dates back to 19th century. It is one of the oldest rugby competitions with the first games played in 1889. However, it was only in 1892 that it became officially known as the Currie Cup. Consequently, the tournament is regarded as the cornerstone of South Africa’s rugby heritage, and the coveted gold trophy remains the most prestigious prize in South African domestic rugby.

Although it is the premier domestic competition, four South African franchises also compete in the United Rugby Championship competition. In order to adjust to the European competition calendar, from the 2024 season the Currie Cup will take place in a new window. It is to be played between July and late September

HISTORY

Back in 1891, on only the second ever British & Irish Lions Tour, the B&I Lions provided the trophy that would become the Currie Cup. Sir Donald gave the trophy to skipper Bill Maclagan. It was to be given to the local team that produced the best performance against the B&I Lions, and the eventual recipients were Griqualand West, beaten 3-0 on July 20.

It was a historic event, with the Lions the first touring team to visit South Africa. Griqualand West decided to put it up for an annual competition between the South African provinces. Thereafter, it has remained the prize on offer to this day.

The competition became known as the Currie Cup the following year, in 1892. Western Province were the first official winner.
