==Round Five==

In the biggest match of the weekend, two previously-unbeaten sides in the {{Rut|Golden Lions}} and {{Rut|Western Province}} met in Johannesburg. The side from Cape Town secured a 65–38 win, scoring nine tries in the process with Dillyn Leyds and Sergeal Petersen scoring two each, while SP Marais contributed 25 of his side's points through one try, seven conversions and two penalties. The result saw Western Province move up to third on the log, one place behind the Golden Lions. The {{Rut|Blue Bulls}} moved to the top of the log following a 39–29 win over the {{Rut|Pumas}} in Pretoria, with Jade Stighling contributing two tries. In the weekend's other match, 17 points from George Whitehead and two tries from lock FP Pelser saw {{Rut|Griquas}} move up to fifth spot by beating the {{Rut|Free State Cheetahs}} 52–24, a result which confirmed that the team from Bloemfontein won't take part in the semifinals.{{cite press release | url=http://www.sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/curriecup&id=4386964 | title=DHL WP lay down massive Currie Cup marker | publisher=South Africa Rugby Union | date=16 September 2018 | access-date=18 September 2018}}

==Round Six==

The {{Rut|Sharks (Currie Cup)}} and {{Rut|Western Province}} both maintained their perfect starts to the season, each winning their fourth consecutive match ahead of their meeting in Round Seven. Western Province secured a 38–12 victory over {{Rut|Griquas}}, with wing Sergeal Petersen scoring two of his side's six tries to move joint-top of the try-scoring charts. Loose-forward Dan du Preez also scored a brace, for the Sharks in their 37–21 victory over a {{Rut|Golden Lions}} side that lost their second match in a row, with Sharks fly-half Robert du Preez scoring 17 points with the boot. In the other match of the weekend, Ryan Nell scored two tries as the {{Rut|Pumas}} picked up their second win of the season, beating the {{Rut|Free State Cheetahs}} 42–14 to condemn the team from Bloemfontein to a winless season, having lost all six of their matches. The Sharks and Western Province mathematically assured their semifinal berths, while the Blue Bulls, Golden Lions and Pumas remained in the race for the other two spots.{{cite press release | url=http://www.sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/curriecup&id=4392294 | title=WP, Sharks continue fine Currie Cup form | publisher=South Africa Rugby Union | date=23 September 2018 | access-date=25 September 2018}}

==Round Eight==

Round Eight saw a full round of three matches being played, with the first of these finalising the semifinal lineup; the {{Rut|Golden Lions}} beat the {{Rut|Pumas}} 33–21 in Mbombela — with both Corné Fourie and Courtnall Skosan scoring a brace of tries — to end the latter's involvement in the competition and ensuring the Golden Lions and the {{Rut|Blue Bulls}} advanced to the knockout stage. The {{Rut|Sharks (Currie Cup)}} clinched a home semifinal by easily beating {{Rut|Griquas}} in Kimberley, with wingers Lwazi Mvovo and Leolin Zas each scoring two tries in a 41–11 win. The final match of the round between the {{Rut|Blue Bulls}} and {{Rut|Western Province}} lasted just 40 minutes; after a delayed start in the match due to lightning, some play was possible before the match was abandoned at half-time due to ever-worsening weather conditions. Western Province were leading 34–7, and this was declared the final result of the match following the abandonment.{{cite press release | url=http://sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/curriecup&id=4406764 | title=DHL WP, Cell C Sharks to host Currie Cup semis | publisher=South Africa Rugby Union | date=13 September 2018 | access-date=11 December 2018}}

==Semifinals==

The semifinal matches went according to form, with the top two teams from the pool stage and home semifinalists {{Rut|Sharks (Currie Cup)}} and {{Rut|Western Province}} both winning. Dan du Preez and S'busiso Nkosi each scored two tries in the Sharks' 33–24 victory over the {{Rut|Golden Lions}}, for whom Courtnall Skosan also scored a brace. Western Province and the {{Rut|Blue Bulls}} met for the second week in a row, but unlike the Round Eight match that saw Western Province win in a 40-minute match, this encounter finished 32–all during normal time, with the Blue Bulls' Dylan Sage scoring a try after the final hooter to level the scores and send the match into extra time. Western Province recovered and retained their lead to win 35–32 after extra time, thanks to a penalty from SP Marais, who scored 30 of his side's points in the victory.{{cite press release | url=http://sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/curriecup&id=4411184 | title=DHL WP to host Cell C Sharks in Currie Cup Final | publisher=South Africa Rugby Union | date=21 October 2018 | access-date=11 December 2018}}

==Final==

The {{Rut|Sharks (Currie Cup)}} won their first title since 2013 after beating {{Rut|Western Province}} 17–12 in Cape Town. The only points in the first half came from the boot of Western Province kicker SP Marais, who slotted penalties in the 19th and 35th minutes to secure a 6–0 half-time lead for the home side. A try for Sharks hooker Akker van der Merwe, converted by fly-half Robert du Preez, saw the Sharks take a 7–6 lead shortly after the interval. A Marais penalty in the 49th minute restored Western Province's lead, but Du Preez responded in kind two minutes later to restore the Sharks' lead. The decisive score came in the 70th minute, when Sharks flank Tyler Paul scored a try — again converted by Du Preez — to make the scoreline 17–9. A penalty from Damian Willemse wasn't enough for the home side, and the Sharks secured the eighth Currie Cup title in their history.
