2011 ITM Cup

The 2011 ITM Cup season was the sixth season since the competition reconstruction in 2006 and the first under the new Premiership and Championship format. For the ITM Cup competition it involved the top 14 provincial unions of New Zealand. The tournament was won by Canterbury, who defeated Waikato 12–3 in the competition final. For sponsorship reasons, the competition was known as the ITM Cup and it was currently the second season under the new sponsor. Including the defunct National Provincial Championship, this is the 35th season of New Zealand's premier domestic competition. The regular season matches took place from 14 July until 30 August – followed by the final on 3 September. It finished without semi-finals to allow more time for the 2011 Rugby World Cup to be held in September and October; in future non-World Cup years, the competition will extend into semi-finals.

The 2011 season saw the arrival of the new Premiership and Championship division format. The 14 teams were grouped based on their on-field finishing positions in 2010 plus a promotion/relegation between the winner of the Championship receiving automatic promotion to the Premiership replacing the seventh placed team in the Premiership which will be relegated to the Championship.

Competition format

Covering eight weeks, the schedule featured a total of 72 matches. The 14 teams were grouped based on their on-field finishing positions in 2010 plus a promotion/relegation between the winner of the Championship receiving automatic promotion to the Premiership replacing the seventh placed team in the Premiership which will be relegated to the Championship for the ITM Cup in 2012.^[1] The regular season consisted of two types of matches:

Internal Division Matches – Each team played the other six teams in the same division, three home and three away.
Cross Division Matches – Each team played four teams from the other division, thus missing out on three teams (each from the other division).

The two teams of each division, moved on to the finals. The top division winners, based on table points, received a home final. In the first round of the finals, the final, the first division winner hosted the second division winner. The final is hosted by the top remaining seed.^[2]
