The 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division will be the 72nd season in the competition since it started in 1889 and will be contested from July to October 2011. The tournament (known as the Absa Currie Cup Premier Division for sponsorship reasons) is the top tier of South Africa's premier domestic rugby union competition.

Competition

Regular season and title play offs

There will be 8 participating teams in the 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division. These teams will play each other twice over the course of the season, once at home and once away.

Teams will receive four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points will be awarded to teams that score 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams losing a match by 7 points or less. Teams will be ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top 4 teams will qualify for the title play-offs. In the semi-finals, the team that finish first will have home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second will have home advantage against the team that finished third. The winners of these semi-finals will play each other in the final, at the home venue of the higher-placed team.

Relegation

The 2012 Currie Cup Premier Division will only consist of 6 teams. It is expected that the bottom 2 teams on the log will be relegated to the 2012 Currie Cup First Division, with no promotion from the 2011 Currie Cup First Division.
