2024–25 División de Honor de Rugby

2024–25 División de Honor
Countries Spain
Date6 October 2024

The 2024–25 División de Honor is the 58th season of the División de Honor, the top flight of Spanish domestic rugby union.

Competition format

The season takes place between October and May.

Points are awarded as follows:

  • 4 points for a win
  • 2 points for a draw
  • 1 bonus point for a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match
  • 1 bonus point for a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer

Each team plays twelve games - one game against each opponent. Then the league divides into two groups: the top six teams progress to Group A and the remaining six teams progress to Group B. The teams play the other members of their groups once more.

Eight teams progress through to the playoffs, meaning the top two teams from Group B qualify along with the six teams from Group A.[1]

Promotion and relegation

The second-tier División de Honor B is made up of three regional groups. The top eight teams across the three groups play off; the champion is promoted to División de Honor, at the expense of the team which finishes last in the División de Honor.

The runner-up plays a further playoff against the team which finishes 11th in the top flight.

Teams

Belenos RC were relegated while CR La Vila were promoted.
