Changes between 1991 and 1992 seasons

[edit]
  • The Currie Cup Rural C was renamed Currie Cup Rural A for 1992.[1]
  • Due to the merger of all rugby governing bodies in South Africa, 1991 Currie Cup Rural D sides SARA and Winelands were dissolved.[2][3] This meant the Currie Cup Rural B was reduced to three teams for 1992. In order to increase the amount of fixtures for the Rural B sides, the Rural A competition was expanded to include one round of matches against the Rural B sides.

Competition

[edit]

There were seven participating teams in the 1992 Currie Cup Rural A & B competition — four Rural A sides and three Rural B sides. These teams played each other once over the course of the season, either at home or away. Teams received two points for a win and one points for a draw. The winner of the Rural A & B competition won the Bankfin Trophy.[4]
