The 2014–15 Pro12 (also known as the Guinness Pro12 for sponsorship reasons) was the 14th season of the professional rugby union competition originally known as the Celtic League, and the fifth with its current four-country format.
It was the first season to be referred to as the Pro12 to not have RaboDirect as the title sponsor, having been replaced by Guinness.{{cite web|url=http://www.thescore.ie/pro-12-sponsorship-1050607-Aug2013/ |work=The Score |title=RaboDirect to pull sponsorship of Pro12 |access-date=5 June 2014 |date=23 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714123554/http://www.thescore.ie/pro-12-sponsorship-1050607-Aug2013/ |archive-date=14 July 2014 }}{{cite web| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/28244972 | work=BBC | title=Pro12: Guinness named as league's new sponsor | access-date=10 July 2014 | date=10 July 2014}}
Leinster were the defending champions having beaten Glasgow Warriors in the previous season's playoff final, to become the first team in the league to successfully retain the trophy.{{cite web| url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/rabo-direct-pro-12/2014/0531/620851-leinster-v-glasgow/ | work=RTÉ Sport | title=Leinster retain Pro12 title in fine style | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=31 May 2014}} Leinster were unable to defend their title as they failed to qualify for the end-of-season playoffs for the top four teams after the regular season. Glasgow Warriors finished the regular season on top of the table, and were crowned champions for the first time, beating second seeded team Munster 31–13 in the final.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/32929818|title=Glasgow Warriors 31-13 Munster|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=30 May 2015|access-date=30 May 2015}}{{cite news|url=http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12321/9870379/glasgow-warriors-defeated-munster-31-13-to-claim-victory-in-the-pro12|title=Glasgow Warriors defeated Munster 31-13 to claim victory in the Pro12|work=Sky Sports|publisher=BSkyB|date=30 May 2015|access-date=30 May 2015}}{{cite news|url=http://www.newsletter.co.uk/sport/rugby/glasgow-warriors-clinch-first-pro12-title-with-31-13-victory-over-munster-at-kingspan-stadium-1-6772189|first=Richard|last=Mulligan|title=Glasgow Warriors clinch first PRO12 title with 31-13 victory over Munster at Kingspan Stadium|work=The News Letter|publisher=Johnston Publishing|date=30 May 2015|access-date=30 May 2015}} Thus, the Warriors became the first Scottish team to win a professional trophy, beating Edinburgh's appearance in the final of the 2014–15 European Rugby Challenge Cup.
The twelve competing teams were the four Irish teams, Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster; two Italian teams, Benetton Treviso and Zebre; two Scottish teams, Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors and four Welsh teams, Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets.

Changes for the season
=All countries=
With the Heineken Cup being replaced by the 20-team European Rugby Champions Cup in the 2014–15 season, the Pro12 table had a greater impact on qualification. Though the qualification was decided by the league table in the 2013–14 season, teams were not aware this would be the case until April 2014.
Under the previous format, the Pro12 provided a minimum of ten teams, with Scotland and Italy providing two teams each, and Ireland and Wales both providing three. The new system saw one place now being reserved for the highest finishing Pro12 team from each of four participating countries and three other qualifiers based solely on league position, for a total of seven teams. The other teams were entered in the new second-tier competition, the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
Starting in the 2015–16 competition, the 20th tournament spot will be decided by a playoff involving the Pro12's highest-finishing team that has not already qualified, the seventh highest finishing club from France's Top 14 and the seventh highest finishing club from the English Premiership. The play-off was initially planned to involve two Pro12 teams, but that plan was scrapped due to fixture clashes with the Top 14.{{cite web| url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/european-rugby-dispute-resolved-with-creation-of-the-champions-cup-30175182.html | work=Irish Independent | title=European rugby dispute resolved with creation of the Champions Cup | access-date=6 June 2014 | date=10 April 2014}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/rugby-union/29353397 |title=Rugby Union: Change to Champions Cup play-offs |first=Chris |last=Jones |work=BBC Radio 5 Live |publisher=BBC Sport |date=24 September 2014 |access-date=24 October 2014}}

Connacht entered the season with a new captain following the forced retirement of Craig Clarke due to persistent concussions.{{cite web| url=http://thescore.thejournal.ie/craig-clarke-retirement-connacht-concussion-1498079-Jun2014/ | work=The Score | title=Connacht confirm Craig Clarke retirement after repeated concussions | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=3 June 2014}} John Muldoon was confirmed as the new captain in August 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.thescore.ie/john-muldoon-connacht-captain-1616086-Aug2014/ |work=The Score |title='Ultimate Connacht Man' John Muldoon named captain for new season |access-date=21 August 2014 |date=12 August 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826161112/http://www.thescore.ie/john-muldoon-connacht-captain-1616086-Aug2014/ |archive-date=26 August 2014 }} They were also without the playing services of former captain and centurion Gavin Duffy, whose contract was not renewed the previous season.

Leinster came into the competition without the services of long serving player Brian O'Driscoll, who retired at the end of the 2013–14 season, for the first time. O'Driscoll had played in every previous season of the league.{{cite web| url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/brian-odriscoll-confirms-retirement-at-the-end-of-the-season-29548078.html | work=Irish Independent | title=Brian O'Driscoll confirms retirement at the end of the season | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=3 September 2013}} They were also without last year's captain Leo Cullen on the playing field, as he also retired, taking up the role of forwards coach.{{cite web| url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/leo-cullen-confirmed-as-leinster-forwards-coach-for-next-season-29859725.html | work=Irish Independent | title=Leo Cullen confirmed as Leinster forwards coach for next season | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=22 December 2013}} Irish international Jamie Heaslip was announced as the side's new captain in August 2014, with Rob Kearney and Seán O'Brien serving as his vice-captains.{{cite web|url=http://www.thescore.ie/jamie-heaslip-leinster-captain-coaches-1629484-Aug2014/ |work=The Score |title=Jamie Heaslip confirmed as new Leinster captain |access-date=21 August 2014 |date=20 August 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826160709/http://www.thescore.ie/jamie-heaslip-leinster-captain-coaches-1629484-Aug2014/ |archive-date=26 August 2014 }}
Following the departure of last year's head coach Rob Penney, who took up a role with the Japanese side NTT Communications Shining Arcs, Munster were coached by former player and previous season's forwards coach Anthony Foley.{{cite web|url=http://www.munsterrugby.ie/news/12973.php |title=Foley Confirmed As Next Head Coach |date=19 February 2014 |work=munsterrugby.ie |access-date=5 June 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222222617/http://www.munsterrugby.ie/news/12973.php |archive-date=22 February 2014 }} Foley was joined in the coaching staff by his fellow former Munster players Mick O'Driscoll and Jerry Flannery, as well as Cork Constitution head coach Brian Walsh.{{cite web| url=http://thescore.thejournal.ie/mick-odriscoll-munster-technical-advisor-1408335-Apr2014/ | work=The Score | title=Munster to bring former lock Mick O'Driscoll into coaching set-up next season | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=10 April 2014}}{{cite web| url=http://thescore.thejournal.ie/flannery-foley-munster-coach-1475098-May2014/ | work=The Score | title=Munster confirm roles for Jerry Flannery and Brian Walsh in Foley's backroom | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=20 May 2014}}

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Edinburgh lost a number of experienced players, including Geoff Cross, Nick De Luca, Greig Laidlaw and Ross Rennie. The departure of Laidlaw meant Edinburgh came into the competition with a new captain, and in September 2014, Mike Coman was named as skipper.{{cite web | url=http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/rugby/latest/edinburgh-skipper-mike-coman-outlines-his-targets-1-3529405 | work=Edinburgh Evening News | title=Edinburgh skipper Mike Coman outlines his targets | access-date=5 September 2014 | date=3 September 2014 | archive-date=5 September 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905235819/http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/rugby/latest/edinburgh-skipper-mike-coman-outlines-his-targets-1-3529405 | url-status=dead }} Edinburgh's home ground of Murrayfield was resurfaced by the time the new season began, following an infestation of nematodes, a type of parasitic worm.{{cite web| url=http://thescore.thejournal.ie/edinburgh-murrayfield-parasitic-worm-1374508-Mar2014/ | work=The Score | title=Edinburgh invite fans onto Murrayfield pitch, but warn of 'parasitic worm' | access-date=5 June 2014| date=21 March 2014}} In addition to being resurfaced, Murrayfield was renamed under a naming rights agreement with the BT Group.

Beginning in 2014–15, the BT Group became the main sponsor on the shirts of three of the four Welsh teams, sponsoring Newport Gwent Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets, while Cardiff Blues had their home stadium of Cardiff Arms Park renamed under a deal with the group, which saw it referred to officially as 'BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park'.
Cardiff Blues entered the season under new leadership, with Mark Hammett coming in as director of rugby. Dale McIntosh and Paul John stay on as coaches under him. Hammett joined from New Zealand Super Rugby franchise, the Hurricanes.{{cite web| url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/hurricanes-coach-mark-hammett-confirmed-7137071 | work=Wales Online | title=Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett confirmed as the new Cardiff Blues director of rugby on three-year deal | access-date=1 August 2014 | date=18 May 2014}} The Blues were without Leigh Halfpenny, whose departure to Toulon was announced in January 2014.{{cite web| url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/rugby-union/25861572 | work=BBC Sport | title=Leigh Halfpenny: Wales and Lions full-back confirms Toulon move | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=23 January 2014}} {{nrut|Wales}} captain Sam Warburton continued playing with the side as the first centrally contracted player in Wales, having signed a deal with the Welsh Rugby Union in January 2014.{{cite web| url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/rugby-union/25896487 | work=BBC Sport | title=Wales captain Sam Warburton signs WRU central contract | access-date=5 June 2014 | date=25 January 2014}} It was also announced that, following his recovery from testicular cancer, Matthew Rees would continue to serve as the team's captain.{{cite news| url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/wales-hooker-matthew-rees-captain-7653491 | work=Wales Online | title=Wales hooker Matthew Rees to captain Cardiff Blues this season after impressing new boss Mark Hammett | date=21 August 2014}}
Newport Gwent Dragons entered the season with a new captain. Former Lions player Lee Byrne took over from Andrew Coombs on his return from Clermont Auvergne and the Top 14. He previously played for rival regions Scarlets and Ospreys.{{cite web| url=http://thescore.thejournal.ie/lee-byrne-dragons-captain-1598105-Jul2014/ | work=The Score | title=Former Clermont and Lions star Lee Byrne named Dragons captain | access-date=1 August 2014 | date=31 July 2014}}
Like most regions, Ospreys entered the season having lost experienced international players. Ian Evans and Richard Hibbard were among the players to have departed, with the pair joining Bristol and Gloucester respectively. The team also lost experienced player Adam Jones. Jones, who had played in every season for the region since its foundation, stayed within Welsh rugby with a move to Cardiff Blues.
Scarlets entered the season with a new head coach, following Simon Easterby's exit. Easterby left the side to become forwards coach to {{nrut|Ireland}}, working under Joe Schmidt.{{cite web| url=http://thescore.thejournal.ie/simon-easterby-ireland-forwards-coach-3-1575719-Jul2014/ | work=The Score | title=Easterby confirmed as forwards coach in Schmidt's Ireland set up | access-date=1 August 2014| date=17 July 2014}} His replacement was Wayne Pivac, with Pivac joining the region from ITM Cup side Auckland.
