The Aviva Premiership

The Aviva Premiership, up until this season known as the Guinness Premiership is the English professional rugby union league which accommodates the top twelve teams in the country. The league is decided ultimately by a Grand Final which takes place at Twickenham each year, between two of four teams that have qualified by finishing in the top four in the regular season Premiership table.

Each of the twelve teams in the Premiership must play each other twice on a home and away basis throughout the rugby season and the top four will then go forward to compete in the knock out phase, the top club will have home advantage and will play the fourth team, while the runners up will also enjoy home advantage and play the third placed team.

The top four clubs in the Premiership also qualify automatically for the Heineken Cup which is in effect the European Rugby Union Cup, they will be joined in the Heineken Cup by the top teams in the Magners League, the French League and the Anglo Welsh Cup.

The Premiership also operates a relegation system, where the bottom club at the end of each season is relegated to the RFU Championship league and replaced by the RFU Championship Grand final winner.
