53rd All Japan Rugby Football Championship
The 2016 All-Japan Rugby Football Championship (日本ラグビーフットボール選手権大会 Nihon Ragubi-Futtobo-ru Senshuken Taikai) took place as a one-off final match at the Chichibunomiya Stadium in Tokyo on 31 January 2016.[1]
The abbreviated format was chosen due to the busy schedule for Japanese Rugby which included the 2015 Rugby World Cup as well as Asian qualification for the 2016 Olympics and the introduction of a Japanese Super Rugby team, the Sunwolves.[1]
The All-Japan Rugby Football Championship match, played between the respective winners of the Japanese Top League competition and the All-Japan University Rugby Championship marked the end of the 2015–16 Japanese rugby season before the opening of the 2016 Super Rugby season.[1]
