Format
The ANZ Premiership operated as a 14-week tournament with 47 matches during the first half of the calendar year. In 2017, the official pre-season was held at Te Wānanga o Raukawa Campus in Otaki, with all six teams competing in the tournament between 10–12 March.[3]
The season began with a 13-week round-robin stage, followed by a two-game finals series. During the round-robin stage, each team plays every other team three times, accumulating competition points throughout the regular season. In the finals series, the 2nd and 3rd-ranked teams on the points table play off in the elimination final. The winner of this plays against the top-ranked team in the grand final.
Games throughout the season were held on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays. Three Super Sunday events were held during the 2017 season, with all 3 games being played featuring all six teams back to back at one venue.[4]
