Competition rules and information

There were six participating teams in the 2016 Currie Cup First Division.

=Qualification=

{{main|2016 Currie Cup qualification}}

The six franchise teams automatically qualified to the 2016 Currie Cup Premier Division, and were joined by the three highest-placed non-franchise teams from the 2016 Currie Cup qualification stage. The remaining six teams from the qualification stage qualified for the Currie Cup First Division.

=Regular season and title playoffs=

The six teams that qualified for the First Division played against each other over the course of the competition, either at home or away. Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored 4 or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by 7 points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams qualified for the semifinals, which were followed by a final.{{cite press release | url=http://www.sarugby.net/news/24535?view=news | title=World's oldest provincial rugby competition gets makeover | publisher=South African Rugby Union | date=11 December 2015 | access-date=11 December 2015 | archive-date=12 January 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160112232048/http://sarugby.net/news/24535?view=news | url-status=dead }}
