released its largest and most comprehensive collection of rugby broadcast rights to date, with prospective broadcasters receiving documentation to begin the next phase of the negotiations.</p><p>With Rugby Australia’s current broadcast agreement set to expire on December 31, 2020, and the Super Rugby competition still without a finalised competition structure, Rugby Australia has informed prospective broadcasters to return submissions by September 4, 2020.</p><p>The rights package offers broadcasters a range of options or an ‘entire package’ rights ownership offering, including:</p><ul><li>The Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup for the Australian Men’s national team, the Wallabies</li><li>International Tests for the Australian Women’s national team, the Wallaroos</li><li>A ‘State of Union’ competition between New South Wales and Queensland, with players to play for their state of birth or where they played their club rugby</li><li>An Australian domestic Super Rugby competition including five Australian teams, or, a trans-Tasman Super Rugby competition that includes five Australian teams.</li><li>A four-week Super Eight competition, to be played at the conclusion of the respective domestic Super Rugby competitions, and be a cross-over Championship between the top two teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as well as one team from Japan and South America</li><li>A short form National Club Championship between the top Premier Club teams in Australia following the completion of the respective club competitions</li><li>New South Wales’ Shute Shield competition as well as Queensland’s Premier Club Rugby competition</li><li>A showcase of the best schoolboy rugby in Australia</li></ul><p>Interim Rugby Australia CEO, Rob Clarke, said the broadcast rights packages that are being presented put the best interest of Australian rugby at every level first.</p><p>“We will do whatever is in the best interests of Australian rugby and we’ve been working hard on a variety of competition models, not just for Super Rugby but for every level of the game,” Clarke said.</p><p>“We have a whole range of new rights that we’re including into this package and we’re very excited by some of that new content.</p><p>“At Super Rugby level for 2021, we have incorporated two options, one is a domestic only model and the other is a trans-Tasman model.</p><p>“We have some new initiatives we’re also incorporating; a State of Union Series, which is our State of Origin, which is new content.</p><p>“A Super 8 Series, which is a four-week long crossover competition at the end of our domestic competition that includes the top-ranked teams from New Zealand, South Africa, Japan and South America.</p><p>“We also have a short form National Club Rugby Championship that we would like to launch with some of the best clubs in the country at the end of the club rugby seasons.</p><p>“Then of course, there are the rights to the New South Wales’ Shute Shield and Queensland Premier Club Rugby competitions, in addition to a showcase Series of the best schoolboy rugby around the country.</p><p>“When you look at it that way, there is a package of rights from grassroots right to the top of the International game and it’s a really high-quality offering for any prospective broadcaster, and one that we’re extremely excited about,” he said.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="mkdf-post-info-bottom clearfix"><div class="mkdf-post-info-bottom-left"><div class="mkdf-blog-share"><div
