The 2019 Super Rugby Draw will see the season get underway on Friday, February 15.
Unlike last year, there will be no South African-only round to kick-off the season, with all the teams involved from the get-go, shortening the season to 18 weeks instead of 19.
The season kicks off with the Chiefs and Highlanders on February 15, with the Brumbies and Rebels set to play the first all-Australian game on the same night.
Like the 2018 draw, the 2019 draw will bring home-and-away derbies. That means all four Australian teams play each other twice during the season.
The finals commence with qualifying finals on Saturday, June 22, while the final will be played on Saturday, July 6.
The competition will again have only three conferences – Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The Sunwolves from Japan join the Australian conference while the Jaguares from Argentina join the South African conference.
All Super Rugby games in 2019 will be exclusively live on Foxtel.
