List of Australian rugby union teams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The highest level of provincial rugby union in Australia is the Super 14. There are four Australian teams in this competition which also features teams from New Zealand and South Africa.
At present, Australia has no national club competition, although there are currently plans to launch one in 2007. The two strongest club competitions are the Sydney and Brisbane club competitions. These are governed by the New South Wales Rugby Union and Queensland Rugby Union.
Each state has a rugby competition, run by the local state rugby union. There are also competitions run by the New South Wales Country Rugby Union, Queensland Country Rugby Union and New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union.
