Additional Information
The Currie Cup tournament (also known as the ABSA Currie Cup for sponsorship) is South Africa's premier domestic rugby union competition, featuring teams representing either entire provinces or substantial regions within provinces. Although it is the premier domestic competition, South Africa also competes in the international Super 14 competition.
The Currie Cup has been competed for since 1899 and is one of the oldest rugby competitions in the world. It has been held on an annual basis since the 1968 season. It is presently contested by eight teams, and the current champions are both the Free State Cheetahs and the Blue Bulls, who drew in the 2006 season final.
