2007 Air New Zealand Cup

2007 rugby union competition in New Zealand June 2020 June 2020 June 2020 2007 Air New Zealand Cup 180px New Zealand 26 July – 20 October Auckland Wellington 77 Jimmy Gopperth (155) Brent Ward (8) 2006 2008 The 2007 National Provincial Championship was the second season of the National Provincial Championship (known as the Air New Zealand Cup for sponsorship reasons), a provincial rugby union competition involving 14 teams from New Zealand. Matches started on 26 July 2007, and the Final, in which Auckland defeated Wellington, was held on 20 October. This season was the second of the expanded competition, which succeeded the First Division of the National Provincial Championship. There were some major changes to the competition from that of the 2006 season. The original Rounds One (initial pool play) and Two (Top Six and Repechage phases) were scrapped. Instead, there was a 10-week round robin in which every team will miss out on playing 3 teams in the competition. This was followed by the quarterfinals, semifinal and the final as in 2006.
