2023 Super Rugby Pacific season

The 2023 Super Rugby Pacific Season (known as Harvey Norman Super Rugby Pacific in Australia, Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific in Fiji and DHL Super Rugby Pacific in New Zealand) was the 28th season of Super Rugby, an annual rugby union competition organised by SANZAAR between teams from Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and a combined team from Samoa, Tonga and other Pacific Island nations. The defending champions were the Crusaders, who won their 11th title in 2022.^[1]

The tournament followed a similar schedule to the 2022 season, with 84 matches played in a round-robin, followed by finals in a knockout format.^[2] The season was expected to run from Friday 24 February 2023, culminating in a final to be played on Saturday 24 June, before the start of the 2023 mid-year international window.^[2]

The Fijian Drua, who were based in Australia for the 2022 season due to complications surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, opened their permanent home base in Nadi, Fiji ahead of the 2023 season.^[3] In 2023, the team played its home games at Churchill Park in Lautoka and HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.^[4] Moana Pasifika continued to be based in Auckland, New Zealand, but played a match at Apia Park in Samoa in 2023.^[5] The Waratahs also had a new home venue in 2023, moving to the newly built Allianz Stadium.^[6]

Competition format

Similarly to the 2022 season, the 12 participating teams each played 14 regular season games: 7 home games and 7 away games, although the 2023 season once again featured a Super Round, during which all teams played their round 2 games at AAMI Park in Melbourne. All six fixtures of Round 2 were held at the stadium between Friday 3 March and Sunday 5 March.^[7] The 14 games included 11 round-robin games against the other participating teams and 3 additional "rivalry" games (derby matches), in which they played another team for the second time in a home-and-away format. Each team also had one bye week.^[8]

The teams were ranked 1 to 12 on one competition table based on competition points earned during the regular season. The top eight teams at the conclusion of the regular season qualified for the play-offs. In the quarter-finals, the first-ranked team played the eighth-ranked team, the second-ranked team played the seventh-ranked, the third-ranked played the sixth-ranked and the fourth-ranked team played the fifth-ranked. The quarter-final winners progressed to the semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals advanced to the final. The higher ranked team hosted each play-off match.^[8]
