The defending champions are the Blues, who won their fourth title in 2024.

The competition was reduced from twelve teams in 2024 to eleven following the axing of Australian team Melbourne Rebels.

The season will begin on 14 February 2025.

Format

The competition format remained the same from the previous season (2024), with an extra regular season round and the finals series being the major changes, alongside the fixture list and afternoon fixture times. Eleven teams play in a round-robin format, with seven matches at home and seven away, and two byes. The fourteen games include teams playing four teams twice, with a focus on "rivalry match-ups", and the six remaining teams once. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top six teams on the season ladder will compete in the qualifying finals. The first-placed team will go head-to-head against the sixth-placed team; the second-placed team will go head-to-head against the fifth-placed team; and the third-placed team against the fourth-placed team. Each winner and the highest-seeded losing team will advance to the semi-finals (1st seed v 4th seed and 2nd seed v 3rd seed). The winners of each semi-final will advance to the Grand Final, the highest-seeded team being the hosts.

The rankings on the competition table are determined by the number of competition points earned during the regular season. Competition points can be gained in the following way: four points are awarded to the winning team, two points to each team for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams can also receive a singular bonus point if they score at least three tries more than the opponent in a match, or lose by seven points or less.
