Structure
The structure reverted to its traditional league format following truncation the previous season. Each team played each other team on a home and away basis for a total of 22 games. League points were awarded as follows – 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw and 0 for a loss. Teams could also earn an additional bonus point by scoring four or more tries in a match and/or losing by less than seven points. The structure saw the top 4 teams compete in an end of season playoff format, 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd, with the final taking place at the ground of the highest seed and the winning team being declared champions.
There was no relegation last season following an expansion from 12 to 14 teams for the 2023–24 season.[3][4] On 28 March 2023, Llanelli RFC declared their intention to withdraw and focus on player development.[5] The league started on 2 September with 13 clubs.
