The 2015 Super Rugby season will be the 20th season of Super Rugby and the fifth season featuring an expanded 15-team format. For sponsorship reasons, this competition is known as Asteron Life Super Rugby in Australia, Investec Super Rugby in New Zealand and Vodacom Super Rugby in South Africa. The round-robin matches will take place every weekend from 13 February until 13 June, followed by the finals series and culminating in the final on 4 July. This will be the final season that will feature the current 15 team format.

Competition format

Covering 21 weeks, the schedule features a total of 125 matches. The 15 teams are grouped geographically, labeled the Australian Conference, New Zealand Conference and the South African Conference. The regular season consists of two types of matches:^[1]

• Internal Conference Matches – Each team plays the other four teams in the same conference twice, home and away.
• Cross Conference Matches – Each team plays four teams of the other two conferences away, and four teams of the other two conferences home, thus missing out on two teams (one from each of the other conferences). Each team plays two home and two away games against teams from each of the other countries, making a total of eight cross conference games for each team. There will be a three-week international break between rounds 15 and 16 of the regular season.

The top team of each conference, plus the next top three teams in table points regardless of conference (wild card teams), will move on to the finals. The top two conference winners, based on table points, receive first-round byes. In the first round of the finals, the third conference winner is the #3 seed and hosts the wild card team with the worst record, and the best wild card team hosts the second-best wild card team. In the semi-finals, the #2 conference winner hosts the higher surviving seed from the first round, and the #1 conference winner hosts the other first-round winner. The final is hosted by the top remaining seed.^[2]

Qualification: The top six teams will qualify to the finals, with their final positions in the overall log determining their seedings in the finals. The third-placed team (i.e. the conference winners with the worst overall record) will host the sixth-placed team in the qualifiers, while the fourth-placed team will host the fifth-placed team. The top two teams (i.e. the two conference winners with the best overall record) will qualify directly to the semi-finals, where they will have home advantage against the two qualifier winners, with the top team hosting the qualifier winner with the lower seeding and the second-placed team hosting the qualifier winner with the higher seeding. The two semi-final winners will progress to the final, with the team with the higher seeding having home advantage. Points breakdown: * 4 points for a win * 2 points for a draw * 1 bonus point for a loss by seven points or less * 1 bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match Classification: Teams standings are calculated as follows:<ref name="Team with "Most Wins" will finish higher in Super Rugby">{{cite web | url=http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=208405539194673 | title=Team with "Most Wins" will finish higher in Super Rugby | publisher=SANZAR | date=12 June 2011 | accessdate=13 June 2011}}</ref> * Conference Leaders (i.e. conference leaders will always be ranked in the top three) * Log points * Number of games won * Overall points difference * Number of tries scored * Overall try difference
