The 2023–24 United Rugby Championship was the 23rd season of the professional rugby union competition known as the United Rugby Championship, and the third season under that name. It began on 21 October 2023 and ended on 22 June 2024. The reigning and defending champions were Munster, who defeated Stormers in the 2023 final.[1]

Glasgow Warriors claimed the 2023–24 championship, defeating the Bulls in the grand final.

Format

[edit]

The season consists of 21 rounds: 18 rounds of regular season play, followed by three rounds of play-offs.

There are four regional pools: The Irish Shield pool (featuring the four Irish teams), the Welsh Shield pool (featuring the four Welsh teams), the South African Shield pool (featuring the four South African teams) and the Scottish/Italian 'Azzurri/Blue' Shield pool (featuring the two Italian and two Scottish sides). The pools serve two functions; they guarantee a full slate of derby matches for each team, and they award a minor Regional Shield trophy to the top team in each pool, which thereby functions as a national championship in three of the four pools, and a cross-border regional championship in the Scottish–Italian pool. They are no longer used to determine qualification for the European Rugby Champions Cup. Instead, the top eight teams in the league table qualify.[2]

The winner of each Shield is determined solely from the games played amongst the teams within their regional pool, mirroring the format of the old Interprovincial Championship in Ireland.[3]

Teams play six matches against their regional pool rivals home and away. The remaining twelve matches are made up by a single round robin, consisting of an even number of six home and six away matches against all the sides from the other pools.[4]

For the Championship itself, there is one main league table. The top eight sides in the table qualify for the quarter-finals, followed by semi-finals and a grand final, with teams seeded 1 to 4 with home advantage for the lowest seeded side. The Regional Shield pools have no direct link to the play-offs and by extension the Championship itself, and it is technically possible to win a Regional Shield but not contest the play-offs, as the Welsh sides showed in 2022 and 2023.[4]

Regional Shield competitions

[edit]

This season, for the first time, regional shield standings were based entirely on performances against other teams within the same conference.[3] Therefore, only six games for each team counted towards the regional shields.

European qualification

[edit]

The national shields no longer factor into qualification for the European Rugby Champions Cup, in order to increase meritocracy and competition within the league.

Priority order for European Champions Cup qualification is:

  • 2023–24 United Rugby Championship champions
  • the European Rugby Champions Cup champions (if a URC team but not already qualified as above)
  • the EPCR Challenge Cup champions (if a URC team but not already qualified as above)
  • the next highest-ranked teams during regular season play not already qualified as above, until eight overall qualifiers have been selected.

All 16 teams, however, are guaranteed entry into one of the two competitions.

The following teams have therefore confirmed their qualification for the European Rugby Champions Cup for the 2024–25 season:

 South Africa via 2023–24 EPCR Challenge Cup
  • Sharks, who defeated English side Gloucester 36–22 in the final of the 2023–24 European Rugby Challenge Cup.

No URC side won a place with victory in the 2023–24 European Rugby Champions Cup, Leinster losing in the final to Toulouse.

The following teams therefore confirmed their qualification for the European Rugby Champions Cup for the 2024–25 season by placement in the URC regular season:

 Ireland
 South Africa
 Scotland

The final Champions Cup place was therefore to be taken by either Benetton (7th) or Ospreys (8th). If Ospreys won the URC outright, they will take the final berth in the Champions Cup as URC Champion. Any other result would mean Benetton qualify for the Champions Cup in 2024–25. Osprey's quarter final defeat confirmed Benetton Rugby in the final berth. Wales will have no representative in the 2024–25 Champions Cup.

 Italy

Zebre, Dragons, Scarlets, Cardiff Rugby, Edinburgh, Connacht, Lions and Ospreys have qualified for the European Rugby Challenge Cup for 2024–25. All five nations in URC will be represented in the competition.

Final

[edit]
Main article: 2024 United Rugby Championship final

The 2024 United Rugby Championship Final was held in South Africa for the third time in succession. The final was the second appearance of the Bulls following their defeat in 2022, and the first appearance of Glasgow Warriors who became the first Scottish team, and indeed the first team outside of South Africa and Ireland, to reach the final since the competition adopted its current format. It was also Glasgow's fourth final appearance overall in the various forms of the competition. For the third year in succession, the top-seeded team entering the playoffs failed to reach the final.
