Super Rugby History
Previously it was played between 15 teams from the Southern Hemisphere and Japan. The original format was founded in 1995 with the inaugural season taking place in 1996. It was now a five-nation Rugby Union tournament with teams from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan and Argentina.
There were two Super Rugby seasons with 18 teams, but for the 2018 – onward Super Rugby tournaments the competition went back to 15 teams.
The Super Rugby competition originated as the Super 6 tournament consisting of just the six clubs from New Zealand (three), Australia (two) and Fiji (one). That inaugural comp never reached the current heights or popularity of the current Super Rugby Championship. The tournament format has undergone a number of notable changes mainly to the number of Rugby Union clubs competing in the event. It has been known as the Super 6 (1992), Super 10 (1993-95), Super 12 (1995-2005), Super 14 (2006-10) and simply ‘Super Rugby’ from 2011-2020.
Super Rugby Betting is hugely popular with markets open across the season on all the matches as well 16as futures Rugby Union odds on the Super Rugby Grand Final Winner.

- Australian Conference (4 Australian teams plus the Japanese Sunwolves)
- New Zealand Conference (5 New Zealand teams)
- South African Conference (4 South African Teams plus the Jaguares from Argentina)
The Super Rugby finals were, until 2020, played out between the best team in each of the three conferences, plus the next best five clubs (wildcards) from across all conferences.
