# 2024–25 Premiership Rugby Cup

The 2024–25 Premiership Rugby Cup is the 52nd season of England's national rugby union cup competition and the second under the new Premiership Rugby Cup format, including clubs from both the Premiership and Championship. Gloucester are the reigning champions.

## Competition format

The format will involve 20 teams – all 10 clubs from the 2024–25 Premiership Rugby and 10 out of 12 clubs from the 2024–25 RFU Championship.
The 20 teams will be divided into 5 regional pools, each made up of 4 teams, with each side playing 6 games (3 home, 3 away). This is a change from the previous season, where Premiership clubs typically had more home fixtures than the Championship sides.
The remaining 2 Championship clubs, Cambridge and Chinnor, were not invited, as Cambridge had finished 11th in the previous season, and Chinnor were newly promoted into the league. This was despite 22 teams being involved in the competition in the 2023–24 edition. The two excluded clubs set up a two-club two-leg challenge match, the "Not The Prem Cup" as a form of protest.
