The Skipper Cup is Fiji Rugby Union’s national provincial premier rugby union championship. Established in 1963 to mark the Golden Jubilee of the Fiji Rugby Union, it is one of the country’s most prestigious rugby competitions. In the early years, there were six major provinces competing, though that number has slowly increased as rugby has become more developed. The competition follows a round-robin structure, where teams play each other, and the top four advance to the semi-finals, culminating in a final to determine the champion.

Provinces are responsible for their own home games and keep the gate-takings from those matches. The first game this year kicks off on April 13.
