The 2021 Super Rugby AU season is an upcoming professional club rugby union tournament organized by Rugby Australia. Announced on 11 November 2020, the tournament will be the second season of Super Rugby AU, featuring the same 5 teams from the inaugural 2020 season, and will run from 19 February to 8 May 2021.
The tournament will run parallel to New Zealand’s 2021 Super Rugby Aotearoa season, and Super Rugby Trans-Tasman will follow the conclusion of both seasons, a crossover tournament featuring each Australian team playing each New Zealand team once, followed by a final.
The 2021 season promises to be a great one for Australians fans with every game in primetime and with the added support of our new partners, Stan and Nine.
