Community Cup Changes for Counties 1 & Below
This season, we’ve recieved lots of feedback, and have engaged with lots of clubs throughout the season to ascertain their feedback on how to improve the Community Cup Competition.
Papa John’s are no longer an RFU commercial partner and we are therefore taking this opportunity to restructure the format of the competition.
We’re introducing a new format for next season, giving clubs a cup fixture early in the campaign. All clubs will be automatically entered, with the option to opt out by August 8th.
Competition Structure:
- Counties 1 & 2:
- 1 National Championship
- 2 Regional Cups (North & South)
- Counties 3 & below:
- 1 National Championship
- 3 Regional Cups (North, Central & South)
Please note:
- Teams will be ranked based on their best playing record from last season.
- Relegated teams will compete in the Championship at their new level.
Further information on this will follow in the next 7-10 days
