2025/26 Mid District Premiership Cup
Pontypridd RFC, in conjunction with the Mid District Rugby Union can announce that the Mid District Premiership Cup is back for the 2025/26 season, and as a result of Beddau’s promotion into the league it’s bigger and better than ever.
There are now six Mid District clubs competing in this season’s Welsh Premiership – Bargoed, Beddau, Brecon, Merthyr, Pontypridd and Ystrad Rhondda, and again the results of Premiership matches between these sides will form a ‘mini-league’ adjacent to the Welsh Premiership.
Again, when the Mid District member clubs play each other a Premiership win will earn the victorious side 3 points for the Mid District Premiership Cup standings. Should any teams draw against each other they will take 1 point apiece into the Mid District Premiership Cup table.
Come the end of the Welsh Premiership season, which is scheduled to finish on April 25th 2026, the top two in the six-team league will then compete in a Grand Final to determine who will be Mid District Premiership Cup Champions. Merthyr are the current champions having defeated Pontypridd in the 2025 final.
Here are the Premiership results involving the Mid District teams to date and as an upshot, the make-up of the current standings:
6/9/2025 –
Brecon 17-34 Pontypridd
20/9/2025 –
Beddau 26-0 Bargoed
4/10/2025 –
Bargoed 11-28 Pontypridd
Points for and against will be recorded because if two teams end up being tied on league points, then points difference will be used to determine who progresses. Each team will finish with 10 in the ‘Matches Played’ column so there are a maximum of 30 league points on offer for each club.
So, confirmation – for the second season in-a-row there’s a third major trophy on offer for the Mid District member clubs in 2025/26, and as per last season we will keep you updated on the standings for this particular competition throughout the current campaign.
