The African Development Trophy also called CAR Development Trophy was a rugby union tournament organised by Rugby Africa from 2004 to 2010. CAR stands for Confederation of African Rugby. Initially referred to as African Super 16, the name was changed to CAR Castel Beer Trophy in 2008 for sponsorship reasons.[1]
From 2004 to 2008 the tournament was made of the second division teams of African rugby, below those playing in the Africa Cup. In 2009 and 2010 it was the third division, with the second division named the CAR Trophy.[2][3] Most commonly the competition was divided into North and South tournaments.
In 2011 the competition was restructured into the new Africa Cup tiers.
