The 2007 Currie Cup First Division was contested from 22 June to 6 October 2007.

Competition. Regular season and title play offs. There were six participating teams in the 2007 Currie Cup First Division. These teams played each other twice over the course of the season, once at home and once away. Teams received four points for  a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams losing a match by 7 points or less. Teams were ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded). The top 4 teams qualified for the title play-offs. In the semi-finals, the team that finished first had home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second had home advantage against the team that finished third. The winners of these semi-finals played each  other in the final, at the home venue of the higher-placed team. Promotion play offs. The top two teams on the log also qualified for the promotion/relegation play-offs. The team that finished first played off against the team placed eighth in the 2007 Currie Cup Premier Division and the team that finished second played off against the team that finished seventh in the Premier Division. The two winners over these two ties (determined via team tables, with all Currie Cup ranking regulations in effect) qualified for the 2008 Currie Cup Premier Division, while the losing teams qualified  for the 2008 Currie Cup First Division.
