The 2009 Heartland Championship was the fourth Heartland Championship, a provincial rugby union competition in New Zealand involving the country's 12 amateur rugby unions, since it was reorganised in 2006. The round-robin ran from 29 August to 17 October[1][2] with 30 games in round one and 18 games in round two for a total of 48 games being played through the round-robin, after which the teams went into the playoffs. In the playoffs, the top four teams from each pool in round two went on to semifinals, and then a grand final for each pool was played on 31 October.

Wanganui won their second consecutive Meads Cup,[3] each coming by defeating Mid Canterbury in the final.[4] Wanganui was a Meads Cup finalist in each of the first four years of the Heartland Championship. North Otago defeated West Coast in the Lochore Cup final.[5] North Otago became the first team to win both the Meads Cup (2007) and the Lochore Cup. This was West Coast's first finals appearance in any provincial championship.

Pool stage

[edit]

The pool stage ran for eight weeks from 29 August to 17 October. Teams were assigned to one of two pools, based on their performance in the 2008 season. The pool stage was split into two rounds; round 1 ran for five weeks with each team playing five games, while round 2 ran for three weeks. The top three teams from each pool qualified for the Meads Cup pool and the bottom three teams from each pool qualified for the Lochore Cup pool. Teams faced the three other teams that they did not play in round 1. Competition points were carried over from round 1 to round 2.
