About
Nine provincial U21 teams are divided into two sections - South, comprising Boland, Border, Eastern Province and SWD; and North - featuring the Pumas (2023 champions), Griffons, Griquas, Valke and Limpopo. Teams in the South Section played three home and three away matches (six in total) and in the North a single round (four in total). At the conclusion of the league phase, the two teams with the highest number of log points contest semi-finals within their sections, and the two winners play in the final.
