On November 28, the Spanish Rugby Federation announced an agreement between the two involved teams for which the second edition of the Supercup would be played at the same time as the League matches between them. Thus, Round 3 match played on December 9 in Majadahonda would be also the first leg of the Supercup. If both team ended on the same group for the second phase of the League, the match between them played on Seville would be the second leg, while if the teams ended in different groups, the winner of the first one would be crowned champion.[72]
After Round 6 of the League regular season, since it was already impossible for Ghenova Cocos to end in the top 4 of the table, Silicius Majadahonda was declared champion of the Super Cup.[73][74]
After the 2023 General Assembly, the Spanish Rugby Federation announced the creation of a new competition, the RFER Cup, set to be played in preseason and during the 2024 Rugby Europe Women's Championship window. The competition will see the 16 teams of the two top categories split in 4 regional pools. Every team will play once against the other 3 in their pool, and the winner of each one will classify for the semi-finals.[9][75]
