The 2015–16 British and Irish Cup is the seventh season of the annual rugby union competition for second tier, semi-professional clubs from Britain and Ireland. Worcester Warriors are the defending champions having won the 2014–15 final against Doncaster Knights 35–5 at Castle Park, Doncaster on 3 April 2015.[1] There has been five different winners and six different losing finalists of the competition in the six seasons of its existence. The format of the competition is similar to last season with Scottish clubs not competing. This season the four Welsh teams are the reserve sides of the teams competing in the Pro 12 competition instead of clubs from the Welsh Premier Division.

Matches are played on the same weekends as the European Rugby Champions and Challenge cups. First round matches began on 13 November 2015 and the final was held on the 10 April 2016.

Competition format

The competition format is a pool stage followed by a knockout stage. The pool stage consists of five pools of four teams playing home and away matches. The top side in each pool, plus the three best runners-up, will progress to the knockout stage. The eight quarter-finalists will be ranked, with top four teams having home advantage. The four winning quarter-finalists will progress to the semi-final draw. Matches will take place on the same weekends as the European Rugby Champions and Challenge cups.

  1. Game was initially to be held at Church Bank Playing Fields (home of Llandovery) but due an unplayable pitch caused by heavy rain the fixture was switched to Station Road in Bristol (home of Clifton RFC and Bristol Rugby's training ground). Despite being held in Bristol it would be classed as a home game for the Scarlets with the gate fee going to that club.[11]
