In 2004-05 the SuperSport Series national championship was subject to a complete review designed to rebrand it and re-establish its popularity. Six new franchises were introduced with the aim of creating a stronger top-tier of sides underpinned by a second-tier tournament that was based around the old provincial teams, who play in a provincial championship that is currently (2007-08) called the South African Airways Provincial Three-Day Challenge.
The new SuperSport Series teams are:
- Cape Cobras in Cape Town and Paarl
- Dolphins in Durban
- Eagles in Bloemfontein
- Lions in Johannesburg and Potchefstroom
- Titans in Centurion and Benoni
- Warriors in Port Elizabeth and East London
