The regular season began on August 13, when Southland hosted Auckland. It involved the top fourteen rugby unions of New Zealand. For sponsorship reasons, the competition was known as the ITM Cup and it was the sixth season under the lead sponsor. The winner of the Championship, Hawke's Bay was promoted to the Premiership, the seventh placed Premiership team, Manawatu was relegated to the Championship. Format The ITM 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. Bonus points were also awarded to teams who scored at least four tries in a match, or lost by seven points or fewer.Adjustment to Mitre 10 Heartland Championship bonus points system https://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 deferential 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.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.

Hawke's Bay announced their first three defenses against Wairarapa Bush, Horowhenua-Kapiti, and Meads Cup winners Mid Canterbury after receiving six Heartland Championship offers.Magpies confirm first Ranfurly Shield opponents http://en.espn.co.uk/newzealand/rugby/story/247583.html ESPN 12 November 2014 In the first challenge, Hawke's Bay were missing players due to Super Rugby and international duties but managed to score forty-one unanswered second-half points which saw them safely retain the shield, winning 58–7 at McLean Park. Prop Jarvy Aoake scored from close range to open the scoring with their second try coming from fullback Zac Guildford and Tyrone Elkington-MacDonald kicked every conversion and penalty. Wairarapa Bush flanker Brock Price was awarded a try after chasing a kick downfield. Shannan Chase, Billy Ropiha, and Brendon O'Connor also scored tries with Jonah Lowe completing the scoring, in the final minute.Hawke's Bay see off Wairarapa-Bush to retain Ranfurly Shield https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/provincial/70101001/hawkes-bay-see-off-wairarapabush-to-retain-ranfurly-shield Stuff 19 July 2015 Again Hawke's Bay was missing players plus their coach also. Horowhenua-Kapiti were within four points with 15 minutes to play in Napier for the second Ranfurly Shield challenge. They dominated the opening half with Perry Hayman kicking three-from-three penalty shots at goal. Hawke's Bay although was in control with a dominant scrum and tries to Joseph Penitito and American Tony Lamborn. Sam Gardner scored for Horowhenua-Kapiti which brought the game back to within four points. But captain Antony Fox was then sent to the sin bin for a cynical infringement during a Hawke's Bay drive on his own try line which caused three Hawke's Bay penalties and tries to Shannan Chase, Tom Stanley and Mark Braidwood.Horowhenua-Kapiti push Hawke's Bay all the way in Ranfurly Shield challenge https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/provincial/70293850/horowhenuakapiti-push-hawkes-bay-all-the-way-in-ranfurly-shield-challenge Stuff 16 July 2015 9 July 2015 14:35 NZST Hawke's Bay 58–7 Report Wairarapa Bush Aoake 7' cGuildford (2) 20' c, 66' cChase 46' cRopiha 49' cElkington-MacDonald 60' cO'Connor 63' mLowe 79' m Elkington-MacDonald (5/5) 9', 21', 48', 51', 61'West (1/3) 67' Elkington-MacDonald (2/2) 17', 43' Price 31' c Priest (1/1) 33' McLean Park, Napier 4,500 Jamie Nutbrown 16 July 2015 19:35 NZST Hawke's Bay 50–16 PreviewReport Horowhenua-Kapiti Penitito (2) 13' m, 39' mLamborn 21' cChase 75' cStanley 78' cBraidwood 80' c Elkington-MacDonald (4/6) 22', 76', 78', 80' Elkington-MacDonald (4/4) 49', 66', 72', 74' Gardner 61' c Hayman (1/1) 63' Hayman (3/3) 7', 33', 38' McLean Park, Napier 3,000 Paul Williams 23 July 2015 19:35 NZST Hawke's Bay 57–12 Report Mid Canterbury Chase 29' mLowe (2) 55' m, 56' cO'Connor 65' cLamborn 68' cGuildford 70' cTongia 77' c Elkington-MacDonald (0/1)West (5/6) 57', 66', 69', 71', 78' Elkington-MacDonald (3/4) 13', 26', 49'West (1/1) 54' Williams (4/4) 5', 38', 44', 45' McLean Park, Napier 3,000 Brendon Pickerill See also 2015 Heartland Championship References External links https://www.provincial.rugby/ Category:National Provincial Championship seasons ITM Cup ITM Cup
