The National First XV Championship is the Premier Rugby Union competition for Secondary Schools/Colleges in New Zealand. ==Qualification== The National First XV Championship is ultimately broken down via the Top 4. The Top 4 is made up of the 4 main franchises/regions: Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes and South Island. Prior to the Top 4 competition, schools first must compete in their local/provincial competitions. Once provincial Champions are determined they then enter into their regional/franchise playoff. This determines the regional/franchise Champion that will represent that region/franchise at Top 4. Each region/franchise is made up of the following: Blues: Northland Champion, North Harbour Champion and Auckland Champion Chiefs: Counties Champion, Bay of Plenty Champion, Waikato Champion and Taranaki Champion Hurricanes: Poverty Bay Champion, Hawkes Bay Champion, Manawatu Champion and Wellington Champion South Island: This region is arranged slightly different as it is a merger of the Press Cup (Crusaders) Competition and the Highlanders Competition: - Press Cup (Crusaders): Nelson Bays, Marlborough, West Coast and Canterbury - Highlanders: North Otago, Otago and Southland The winners of the Press Cup - (Crusaders) and the Highlanders competitions play in a one off final to determine the South Island Champion. The winners of the Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes and the South Island franchises make up The Top Four. These 4 teams then have 2 semis finals with the winners advancing to the National 1st XV Final. As listed below, some titles have been shared. There have been calls for overtime to be included to determine an outright winner. Overtime is applied at Semi Finals but not the Final. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National First XV Championship (New Zealand)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
