The National Provincial Championship or NPC was the major domestic rugby competition in New Zealand. The NPC saw many alterations to its format and brand. Since 2006 it has been replaced by two competitions the ITM Cup (originally the Air New Zealand Cup) and the Heartland Championship. From the 2011 Season the top Division was split into two tiers based on the 2010 Table after Pool Play. Teams 1-7 were assigned to the Premiership and teams 8-14 to the Championship.
