The Guinness PRO 14 rugby competition was a third tier rugby competition in Europe. It was played among teams from Wales, Ireland, Scotland Italy and South Africa. It started in 2001 as the Celtic League, was known as the Magners League for a period, then the RaboDirect Pro 12 and then the Guinness PRO 14. It started as a league for the Celtic nations but was then called the PRO 12 to reflect that teams from outside those nations were involved. In 2017 two South African teams were added to the competition (Pro 14). In 2021 the competition was changed to include four South African teams and the name was changed to the United Rugby Championship to reflect that. |
There are 16 teams in the competition. They were split into 4 regional pools, 1 for the Welsh teams, 1 for the Irish teams, 1 for the South African teams and a 4th for the Scottish and Italian teams.
Teams will play the other teams in their pool twice, home and away, and each team from the other pools once.
At the end of pool play, the top 8 teams will enter knock-out playoffs with the top 4 having home advantage.
All teams will be eligible for European qualification (including the South African teams). The top 8 teams in the main league table will qualify for European Champions Cup.
