The 2011 Super Rugby season is the first season of the new 15-team format for theSuper 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.
