2025 Super Rugby Final: Date, Venue, Winner & How to Watch

Date of Final: 21 June 2025 · Venue: Apollo Projects Stadium, Christchurch · Teams: Crusaders vs Chiefs · Super Rugby Final Number: 30th

Five key facts, one pattern: almost every core detail about the final – date, venue, teams, kick-off time – was locked in weeks before kick-off, while the actual result and attendance remain less certain due to conflicting unofficial reports.

The implication: while the venue, date, and matchup were established early through official channels, the final score and crowd figure rest on lower-certainty sources. Official confirmation from Super Rugby is still pending.

What city hosts the 2025 Super Rugby final?

Christchurch, New Zealand’s largest city in the South Island, was the host city for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific decider. The choice of Christchurch marked a return of a major rugby final to the city, which had previously hosted finals in 2011 and 2018 at the same venue (Wikipedia).

What stadium is used for the final?

Apollo Projects Stadium, located in the suburb of Wigram, served as the venue. The stadium, which opened in 2022, has a capacity of approximately 18,000 and is the home ground of the Crusaders (Wikipedia).

The catch: the early timing affected player availability.

What was the final score?

According to Wikipedia’s season summary, the Crusaders defeated the Chiefs 16-12. The match report embedded in the season article lists the Crusaders as champions for the 2025 season (Wikipedia). Because the Wikipedia page is a tertiary source and no official match report from Super Rugby has been published yet, the scoreline should be treated as unconfirmed.

Which team scored the winning points?

The specific scoring details – tries, conversions, and penalties – are not yet publicly available from primary sources. The 16-12 margin suggests a tight contest where both sides scored a combination of tries and penalties (Wikipedia).
