South African Rugby 2019

The 2019 Under-20 Provincial Championship was the 2019 edition of the Under-20 Provincial Championship, an annual national Under-20 rugby union competition held in South Africa, and was contested from 13 July to 30 August 2019.

Competition rules and information[edit]

There were nine participating teams in the 2019 Under-20 Provincial Championship.[1] The teams were divided into three sections, with each team playing the other two teams in their section twice during the regular season, once at home and once away. Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams in the pool stage — the three section winners, plus the runner-up with the best record — qualified for the semi-finals, where the section winner with the best record hosted the best runner-up, and the section winner with the second-best record hosted the section winner with the third-best record. The two semi-final winners played in the final, played as a curtain-raiser for the 2019 Currie Cup First Division final.
