What is the Future Competition Structure for 2022/23 and why has it changed?

The 2022/2023 season will see a change to how rugby is structured in the adult male game. These positive changes will deliver a revised structure, rebranding and new Cup competition. 

These are the most significant changes made to the competition structure in 30 years and are designed following feedback from clubs and players responding to their needs and changes in society. These changes are intended to reboot and re-energise community rugby, improving player retention and attracting new players to the adult men’s game.

All the information you need to help you prepare for the upcoming season and beyond as well as an overview on why the changes are being made can be found here.  If you can’t find the answer to your questions, please email competitions-development@rfu.com.
