Super League is a men's professional rugby union club competition involving teams from the Arucian, Nuvania, Satavia and Sublustria. For sponsorship reasons, Super League is known as Telekor Super League in Nuvania. Super Leage consists of twelve franchises; one, the Arucian Pirates is based in Sainte-Chloé, six are based in Nuvania whilst four are based in Satavia. The Surfers are based in Satavia but are part of the Sublustrian Rugby Federation. Super League is owned and administrated by NUVSATLUS, the tripartite organisation consisting of the Nuvanian, Satavian and Sublustrian rugby governing unions.
Created in 2006 in the wake of declining results by both Nuvanian and Satavian national sides, the goal of the League was to improve the two countries competitiveness internationally. Initially consisting of fourteen teams, eight Nuvanian and six Satavian, this was reduced to ten teams (six Nuvanian and four Satavian) by 2009. In 2015, the Sublustrian Rugby Federation joined the league, contributing one team, also including Naua Roa. Concurrently, the Nuwanse Rugby established a team to represent the Arucian, based in Sainte-Chloé, with the aim of popularising rugby union in the Arucian. Both teams have performed poorly since their establishment, finishing in eleventh and twelfth every year since their debuts in 2015.
Since its inception, the competition has been fiercely competitive; all four teams in the Satavian conference have won Super League in the past, whilst four of the six Nuvanian teams have also won Super League. The most successful Super League team is Port Hope RFC, having won the league five times, meanwhile the most recent winners are the Rheas, who won only their second title in 2022.
