abstract
  • The Pro12 (known as the RaboDirect Pro12 for sponsorship reasons, formerly known as the Celtic League and the Magners League) is an annual rugby union competition involving 12 professional sides from Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. The league is one of the three major professional leagues in Europe, along with the English Premiership and the French Top 14, that competed in the Heineken Cup through the 2013–14 season and will be involved in that competition's successor, the European Rugby Champions Cup, from 2014–15. Beginning in the 2001–02 season, the league was originally known as the Celtic League (Irish: An tSraith Cheilteach; Welsh: Y Gynghrair Geltaidd; Scots Gaelic: An Lìog Cheilteach; Italian: La Lega Celtica) and comprised teams from Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The league was sponsored by Irish cider makers Magners from the 2006–07 season until 2010–11. At the start of the 2010–11 season, the league expanded from 10 to 12 teams, adding two Italian teams. Following the end of Magners sponsorship, from the 2011–12 season the league has been sponsored by RaboDirect. The "Pro12" was adopted to reflect that it now includes teams from outside the Celtic nations. The league has used a play-off structure since the 2009–10 season to determine the league champion, similar to that used in the English Premiership. Until the 2008–09 season, the league champion was determined from league performance.
