2. Rugby Bundesliga 2015/16 ↓

The Rugby Bundesliga 2015/16 was the 45th edition of this competition. In the rugby Bundesliga , 16 teams initially played in two regional relays (north / east and south / west), followed by playoffs in which the two highest placed teams played for the German championship after the regular season. The regular season started on August 29, 2015 and ended on April 24, 2016, followed by the two semi-finals and the championship final.

TV Pforzheim won the final in 1834 41:36 against Heidelberg RK , after they had won the last six championships in a row.

Overview

Teams of the Rugby Bundesliga 2015/16

After the previous three seasons had been played in four divisions, the 2015/16 season switched back to a two-track system and the Bundesliga was significantly reduced in size. Therefore there were no new teams from the 2nd Bundesliga. Eight teams each played in the North / East and South / West seasons. During the regular season, each team played in the round trip against the seven other teams from the same group. No games were played against the teams from the other group. This was followed by the play-offs in which the winner of the north / east season played against the second from the south / west and the winner of the south / west season against the second from north / east. The winners of these two semi-finals were then in the final of the German Rugby Championship .

The last team in each season was automatically relegated to the 2nd rugby league. The two penultimate teams took part in the relegation against the losers of the semi-finals from the second Bundesliga.
