First Division for sponsorship reasons) was the second tier of South Africa's premier domestic rugby union competition, featuring teams representing either entire provinces or substantial regions within provinces.
Competition
There were six participating teams in the 2014 Currie Cup First Division. A proposed expansion of the Premier Division to eight teams
was initially rejected,
but was then subsequently approved on 13 February 2014.
This meant that the First Division was reduced to six teams for 2014.
Regular season and title playoffs
The six teams played each other twice over the course of the season, once at home and once away. The first series of fixtures were played as part of the
2014 Currie Cup qualification competition, with all results carried forward to the First Division except for the match against the
2014 Currie Cup Premier Division
The 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division was the 76th season in the competition since it started in 1889 and was contested from 9 August to 25 October 2014. The tournament (known as the Absa Currie Cup Premier Division for sponsorship reasons) is the ...
qualifier. A second set of fixtures then followed between the remaining six teams.
Each team received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by 7 points or less. Teams were ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).
The top 4 teams qualified for the title play-offs. In the semifinals, the team that finished first had home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second had home advantage against the team that finished third. The winners of these semi-finals played each other in the final, at the home venue of the higher-placed team.
