The regular season began on August 18, when North Harbour hosted Counties Manukau. It involved the top fourteen rugby unions of New Zealand. For sponsorship reasons, the competition was known as the Mitre 10 Cup and it was the first season under the lead sponsor. The winner of the Championship, North Harbour was promoted to the Premiership, the seventh placed Premiership team, Hawke's Bay was relegated to the Championship. Format The Mitre 10 Cup standings were sorted by a competition points system. Four points were awarded to the winning team, a draw equaled two points, whilst a loss amounted to zero points. Unions could also win their side a respectable bonus point. To receive a bonus point, they must have scored four tries or more or lose by seven or fewer points or less.Adjustment to Mitre 10 Heartland Championship bonus points system http://rugbyheartland.co.nz/wp/2016/09/02/adjustment-to-mitre-10-heartland-championship-bonus-points-system/ Rugby Heartland 2 September 2016 Each team was placed on their total points received. If necessary of a tiebreaker, when two or more teams finish on equal points, the union who defeated the other in a head-to-head got placed higher. In case of a draw between them, the side with the biggest points differential margin got rights to be ranked above. If they were tied on points difference, it was then decided by a highest scored try count or a coin toss.pdf http://files.allblacks.com/legal_and_judicial/NZR_2016_Competitions_Regulations_Handbook.pdf New Zealand Rugby Union Competition Regulations Handbook 2016 New Zealand Rugby 1 September 2017 12 July 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190712231129/http://files.allblacks.com/legal_and_judicial/NZR_2016_Competitions_Regulations_Handbook.pdf dead This seeding format was implemented since the beginning of the 2006 competition. The competition included a promotion-relegation process with the winner of the Championship receiving automatic promotion to the Premiership, replacing the seventh-placed team in the Premiership which was relegated to the Championship for the following year. The regular season consisted of two types of matches. The internal division matches were when each team played the other six unions in their division once, home or away. The cross-division matches were when each team played four teams from the other division, thus missing out on three teams, each from the opposite division. Each union played home or away games against teams from the other division, making a total of ten competition games for each union. http://www.manawaturugby.co.nz/article/1863.html 2010 ITM Cup Competition Structures Manawatu Rugby Union 7 August 2010 dead https://archive.today/20130223161744/http://www.manawaturugby.co.nz/article/1863.html 23 February 2013 dmy-all The finals format allowed the top four teams from each division move on to the semi-finals.

The Thames Valley and King Country unions would take on Waikato for the fifth time, while Wanganui gained a mandatory shield challenge as the current holders of the Meads Cup. The first challenge for 2016 was against Thames Valley at the Paeroa Domain. King Country's challenge was played at Bedford Park in Matamata with Wanganui being the last pre-season challenge.Waikato confirm pre-season Ranfurly Shield challenges http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/provincial/77996178/waikato-confirm-preseason-ranfurly-shield-challenges Stuff 17 March 2016 Waikato had little trouble getting a victory in their first shield defense of the season, winning 83–13 in Paeroa. They ran in thirteen tries in front of a 2,500 capacity crowd. Winger Iliesa Ratuva scored a hat-trick on debut for his province, while number 8 Whetu Douglas and prop Atunaisa Moli both got a brace. Thames Valley managed two second-half tries, the first after Waikato had reached fifty points to veteran Brett Ranga. Their second came when centre Jone Koroinsagana scored an intercept. The match also featured a return for former Ireland half-back Isaac Boss, who first played for the province in 1999 before heading to Ulster in 2005.Waikato beat Thames Valley to keep Shield http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2016/06/waikato-beat-thames-valley-to-keep-shield.html Newshub 6 June 2016 16 October 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171017045041/http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2016/06/waikato-beat-thames-valley-to-keep-shield.html 17 October 2017 dead In their second defense, Waikato got past King Country 55–0 in Matamata.
