Sky Super Rugby Aupiki

The home of Sky Super Rugby Aupiki

The country's leading players will once again set the rugby landscape alight in 2025 with the return of Super Rugby Aupiki.

 

With Aupiki translating to mean “the ascent to the upper most realm,” Super Rugby Aupiki represents a crucial stepping stone between the Farah Palmer Cup and the Black Ferns. The competition sees The Blues (Auckland, Northland, Counties Manukau), Chiefs Manawa (Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki), Hurricanes Poua (Wellington, Manawatu), and Matatū (Te Wai Pounamu/South Island) play a six round home and away regular season before a final between the two top qualifying teams.

 

2025 will see the addition of a Women's Super Rugby Champions Final crossover with Australia’s Super Rugby W, when the best two teams from the respective competitions line up against each other on April 17th.
