The 2017 Mitre 10 Cup season is the 12th season of New Zealand's provincial rugby union competition since it turned professional in 2006. The regular season begins on August 17, with the 2016 Championship winners North Harbour hosting a game against Otago. It will involve the top fourteen rugby unions of New Zealand. For sponsorship reasons, the competition is known as the Mitre 10 Cup and it will be currently the second season under the lead sponsor. The winner of the Championship will be promoted to the Premiership, the 7th placed Premiership team will be relegated to the Championship.
The 2017 Mitre 10 Cup plays across nine weeks with every team playing one Wednesday night fixture in a double-up round where they play twice that week. The competition starts on Thursday August 17, with North Harbour taking on Otago at QBE Stadium, in a repeat of the previous seasons Championship Division final. The opening round will also see a repeat of the Premiership final with Tasman against current champions Canterbury.
