 From 2011 onward, the winner of the Championship Final is promoted to the Premiership, replacing that league's bottom team.Because the 2011 season ran up against that year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, the competition window was truncated, with only the top two teams in each division advancing to the final match.The Shaughnessy finals series returned to both divisions in 2012, and is currently used in non-World Cup years.
