The 2011 Super Rugby season is the first season of the new 15-team format for the Super Rugby competition, which involves teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Including its past incarnations as Super 12 and Super 14, this is the 16th season for the Southern Hemisphere's premier transnational club competition. The season kicked off in February 2011, with pre-season matches held from mid-January. It will finish in early July to allow players a recovery period for the 2011 Rugby World Cup to be held in September and October; in future non-World Cup years, the competition will extend into August.

This season sees the arrival of the Melbourne Rebels, admitted to the competition as Australia's fifth team after entry by the Southern Kings from South Africa was denied (the Kings are now tentatively scheduled to become South Africa's sixth team in 2013). This is also the first season of a revamped competition format, with a greater focus on matches within each participating country and an expanded finals series.

Competition format

The schedule, which covers 21 weeks, will feature a total of 125 matches. Starting with three groups of five teams, these groups will be the Australian Conference, New Zealand Conference and the South African Conference. With the new format, the regular season will consist of two types of matches:

• Internal Conference Matches - Each team will play the other four teams in the same conference twice, home and away. (See table below for conferences.)
• Cross Conference Matches - Each team will play four teams of the other two conferences away, and four teams of the other two conferences home, thus missing out on two teams (one from each of the other conferences). Each team will play two home and two away games against teams from each of the other countries, making a total of eight cross conference games for each team.

The top team of each conference, plus the next top three teams in table points regardless of conference (wild card teams), will move on to the finals. The top two conference winners, based on table points, receive first-round byes. In the first round of the finals, the third conference winner will be the #3 seed and will host the wild card team with the worst record, and the best wild card team will host the second-best wild card team. In the semi-finals, the #2 conference winner will host the higher surviving seed from the first round, and the #1 conference winner will host the other first-round winner. The final will be hosted by the top remaining seed.
