ČSRU publishes Czech competitions centrally, including the senior men’s XV ladder, separate cups and sevens, youth formats and non-competitive children’s tournaments.
Permanent leagues, seasonal phases and parallel competitions stay separate so a cup or playoff is not mistaken for a league tier.
The competition index lists Extraliga, 1. Liga, 2. Liga, 3. Liga and 4. Liga as senior men’s XV leagues.
Extraliga
ČSRU describes Extraliga as the country’s highest men’s XV competition. Its regular phase, playoffs, final and access matches are season phases, not separate permanent leagues.
Lower senior families
The 1. Liga through 4. Liga are separate senior men’s XV leagues. Access and eligibility rules are set for each season and do not simply follow the order of the list.
The 2026 index includes a women’s national sevens championship but no domestic senior women’s XV league.
Women’s sevens
Mistrovství ČR 7s – Ženy is a separate women’s sevens competition. It is not a sign that a women’s XV league exists.
ČSRU publishes a men’s XV cup alongside the leagues, while playoff, final and access-match rounds belong to a particular season’s format.
Men’s XV cup
Pohár ragby XV – muži is a separate cup, not a league level.
Playoffs and access matches
These are phases of one season and can have eligibility consequences. They are separate from the regular-season leagues and do not fix the following season’s format.
The national index publishes men’s national and lower-level sevens alongside the women’s national sevens championship and youth sevens formats.
Separate format
Men’s and women’s sevens are separate competitions; neither is part of senior XV promotion or relegation.
ČSRU lists U19, U16 and U14 XV, U18/U16/U14 sevens, girls’ U18 sevens and girls’ U15 rugby X, as well as regional children’s tournaments.
Age-grade formats
Age-grade XV, sevens and rugby X are separate formats. Their groups and development phases are not ranked like senior leagues.
Children’s tournaments
Regional U6, U8, U10 and U12 rugby is listed as non-competitive, so there are no standings for it.
A ČSRU competition entry can be a first team, a B team, an U23 side or a combined team. The catalogue does not track a team from one season to the next.
Reserve and development sides
A club can enter more than one team, so each squad, category, season and phase is kept separate until a lasting club-to-team link exists.
The 2026 catalogue also lists non-contact mixed rugby as a separate format outside the XV, sevens and age-grade ladders.
Non-contact mixed rugby
The catalogue gives only the name of this format. It does not give a complete list of teams or a place in the ladder.
The Extraliga includes an Austrian team in a Czech competition. The union running a competition and where a club is based are separate facts.
Season-scoped participation
A foreign or combined team in a Czech competition does not become a Czech club, a permanent member, or a guaranteed entrant next season.
Scores and tables
This site does not show Czech tables, fixtures, results or past seasons. Use ČSRU’s official competition index for those.
Club coverage
