The '''Currie Cup''' ({{langx|af|Curriebeker}}) is [[South Africa]]'s premier domestic [[rugby union]] competition featuring teams representing either entire provinces or substantial regions within provinces. The Currie Cup dates back to 1891.

==History==
The Currie Cup is one of the [[List of oldest rugby union competitions|oldest rugby competitions]],<ref name="ABSA Currie Cup Records">{{cite web|url=http://img.ssz.co.za/SARA07CURRIECUPRECORDS.pdf |title=ABSA Currie Cup Records |access-date=2009-12-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725002449/http://img.ssz.co.za/SARA07CURRIECUPRECORDS.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-25 }}</ref> with the first games played in 1889, although it was only in 1892 that it became officially known as the Currie Cup. The competition had its humble beginnings as an inter-province competition in 1884, but when the [[South African Rugby Board]] was founded in 1889 it decided to organize a national competition that would involve representative teams from all the major unions. The original participating unions were [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]], [[Griquas (rugby)|Griqualand West]], [[Golden Lions|Transvaal]] and [[Eastern Province Elephants|Eastern Province]]. The first tournament was held in [[Kimberley, South Africa|Kimberley]] and was won by [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]]. For a prize they received a silver cup donated by the South African Rugby Board, now displayed at the SA Rugby Museum in [[Cape Town]]. The story of how the Currie Cup came to be comes from the first overseas rugby team to tour South Africa in 1891, The British Isles, who carried with them a particularly precious bit of cargo. Among the bags, boots and balls was a golden cup given to them by [[Donald Currie|Sir Donald Currie]], owner of [[Union-Castle Lines]], the shipping company that transported them to the southern tip of Africa. Sir Donald was clear with his instructions – hand this trophy over to the team in South Africa that gives the best game; and after a spirited display where the unbeaten British Lions narrowly won 3–0, [[Griquas (rugby)|Griqualand West]] became the first ever holders of the Currie Cup. They then handed the trophy over to the South African rugby board and it became the floating trophy for the Currie Cup competition. The inaugural Currie Cup tournament was thus held in 1892 with [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]] earning the honour of holding it aloft as the first official winners.
[[File:The Currie Cup1.jpg|right|220px|thumbnail|The Currie Cup trophy]]
[[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]] dominated the competition's early years, and by 1920 the team from Cape Town had already secured the trophy 10 times. Only [[Griquas (rugby)|Griqualand West]] could halt the rampant WP side and win the trophy in 1899 and 1911. In 1922 the [[Golden Lions|Transvaal]] won the competition for the first time, however [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]] would continue to dominate the Currie Cup throughout the 1920s and 1930s, winning the trophy a further 4 times and sharing it twice with [[Border Bulldogs|Border]]. In 1939 the trophy returned to Johannesburg for only the second time after [[Golden Lions|Transvaal]] defeated [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]] in Cape Town. This was the first time WP had lost a final at their home ground [[Newlands Stadium|Newlands]]. The Currie Cup went into hiatus during the Second World War but resumed in 1946 when {{Rut|Northern Transvaal}} claimed their first ever trophy by beating [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]] 11–9 in the final at [[Loftus Versfeld Stadium|Loftus Versfeld]] in Pretoria.
The late 1940s and early 1950s were dominated by [[Golden Lions|Transvaal]] who would win the trophy in 1950 and 1952, however in 1954 the Currie Cup would finally return south following [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province's]] narrow 11–8 victory over {{Rut|Northern Transvaal}} in the final at Newlands in Cape Town. The competition missed a few years here for reasons such as war and the like, but in 1968 it became a fully fledged annual showpiece.

At the end of the apartheid 1980s, South African rugby supporters were treated to two of the most memorable Currie Cup finals. In 1989 winger [[Carel du Plessis]] scored a last-minute try as WP managed to draw with {{Rut|Northern Transvaal}} 16-all, Riaan Gouws missed the conversion which would have given WP its 6th title of the decade a feat which has never been achieved. The following year the Blue Bulls slipped up, though, and Natal sneaked home 18–12, inspired by fly-half [[Joel Stransky]]. The 1990s saw further improvement by Natal and the rise of [[Francois Pienaar]]'s Transvaal. Since the end of apartheid in 1990–4, and the age of professionalism in rugby union in the early 1990s, the Currie Cup has become much more competitive with no team able to carve out an era of dominance like that of WP in the early years or {{Rut|Northern Transvaal}} in the 1970s and 1980s. 

In order to adjust to the European competition calendar, from the 2024 season the Currie Cup takes place in a new window between July and late September.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Currie Cup gets new window in major revamp for local season|url=https://www.sarugby.co.za/news-features/articles/2023/12/08/currie-cup-gets-new-window-in-major-revamp-for-local-season/#:~:text=Once%20confirmed%2C%20the%20Currie%20Cup,to%20the%20end%20of%20September.|access-date= 2024-03-19}}</ref>

==Champions and finals==

Between 1892 and 1920, the competition was held as a centralised tournament, with the team with the best record crowned as the winner. Between 1922 and 1936 (as well as in three tournaments between 1957 and 1966), the winner was the team with the best record following a round-robin competition. In all the other seasons, a final was played to determine the champion.
