Announced on 13 November, the competition followed the 2021 Super Rugby AU season and the 2021 Super Rugby Aotearoa season, with the fixtures being confirmed on 14 December. Each team hosted two home games, while the third round was expected to be a 'Super Round', with all the games being played at a single venue.[1][2] Ahead of the start of the competition, the Super Round was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, with the matches held at separate venues, although they were still classified as 'neutral venues'.[3] Full venues for Round 3 were announced on 23 April 2021.[4]

Law variations edit

Super Rugby Trans-Tasman saw the same law variations that were used in the 2021 Super Rugby AU season used in the competition. Goal-line dropouts and the ability to replace a red carded player after 20 minutes were carried over to this competition as were used in both Super Rugby AU and the 2021 Super Rugby Aotearoa season. The captain's referral and Golden Point extra time used in the 2021 Super Rugby Aotearoa season though were not used in Super Rugby Trans-Tasman, while the 50/22 kicking law, restart variation and Golden Try extra time used in the 2021 Super Rugby AU season were also not used in the competition.[5]
