 Super Rugby in 2021 will comprise three competitions in Australia and New Zealand: first the separate Super Rugby AU and Super Rugby Aotearoa, before Super Rugby Trans-Tasman.

While Super Rugby Aotearoa will start a week later, the New Zealand competition has just one week of finals rather than the two used in Australia, so both will have ten rounds of the regular season and the finals on Saturday, May 8. With five teams in each tournament, one side will have a bye each round. Super Rugby Trans-Tasman will begin the week after the conclusion of the two domestic competitions, and run for six weeks: five rounds where each Australian side plays each New Zealand franchise and vice-versa, before the final between the top two teams on June 19.
