Wikipedia - Heartland Championship
The Heartland Championship competition, known for sponsorship reasons as the Bunnings Warehouse Heartland Championship, is a domestic rugby union competition in New Zealand. It was founded in 2006 as one of two successor competitions to the country's former domestic competition, the National Provincial Championship (NPC). The country's 27 provincial teams were split into two separate competitions. Thirteen of the original teams, plus one merged side created from two other teams, entered the new top-level professional competition, the Air New Zealand Cup (later known as the ITM Cup, Mitre 10 Cup and currently the NPC). The remaining 12 sides entered the new Heartland Championship, whose teams contest two distinct trophies, both named after famous New Zealand players:
- The Meads Cup, the more prestigious trophy, named after Colin Meads.
- The Lochore Cup, named after Brian Lochore.
Soutěž je považována za nižší úroveň než Mitre 10 Cup, ale stále přitahuje silnou konkurenci. Týmy v Heartland Championship pocházejí z menších regionů Nového Zélandu a často se skládají z hráčů na částečný úvazek.
Heartland Championship je důležitou součástí ragbyové kultury Nového Zélandu a poskytuje hráčům z celé země příležitost soutěžit na vysoké úrovni. Soutěž je také klíčovou součástí cesty hráčů do vyšších úrovní novozélandského ragby.
