The Hong Kong Premiership currently branded as the Nan Fung Group | AIRSIDE Hong Kong Premiership, is the top-tier domestic rugby union competition for rugby union clubs in Hong Kong, organized by the Hong Kong Rugby Union.
The season usually runs from October to March and combines a regular league campaign with end of season playoffs.Teams play a regular league season first, then the top four move into the Grand Championship playoffs. In the men’s competition, the regular season lasts 15 rounds. The team who finishes first in the table becomes the League Winner, while the playoff winner becomes the Premiership champion, often called the Grand Champions.
The competition has been played since 2001, and has evolved into the current Premiership system. The current champions are HKFC, who won the league in 2026.
