The 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season (known as Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific in Fiji and DHL Super Rugby Pacific in New Zealand) was the 29th season of Super Rugby, an annual rugby union competition organised by SANZAAR between teams from Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and a combined team from Samoa, Tonga and other Pacific Island nations. The defending champions were the Crusaders, who won their twelfth title in 2023.[1][2] The season ran from Friday 23 February 2024, culminating in a final played on Saturday 22 June, before the start of the 2024 mid-year international window.

## Format

[edit]

The competition format continued from the previous season, with the fixture list being the only change. Twelve teams played in a round-robin format, with seven matches at home and seven away, although the second round (called "Super Round") will be played at AAMI Park, Melbourne. The fourteen games included eleven regular round-robin matches against the other participating teams and three additional "rivalry" games, in which they played another team for the second time in a home-and-away format. Each team also had one bye week, making a total of fifteen rounds.[3]

At the conclusion of the fifteenth round, the eight highest ranked teams on the competition table advanced to the quarter-finals, in which the first-ranked team played the eighth-ranked team, the second-ranked team played the seventh-ranked, the third-ranked played the sixth-ranked and the fourth-ranked team played the fifth-ranked. The quarter-final winners progressed to the semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals advanced to the final. The higher ranked team hosted each play-off match.[4]

The rankings on the competition table were determined by the number of competition points earned during the regular season. Competition points could be gained in the following way: four points were awarded to the winning team, two points to each team for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams could also receive a singular bonus point if they scored at least three tries more than the opponent in a match, or lost by seven points or less.[4]
