Crusaders -actual campeón- Hurricanes, Highlanders y Blues presentaron sus equipos para la temporada 2020.
Los de Christchurch tendrán que hacerlo sin Owen Franks, Sam Whitelock, Jordan Taufua, Matt Todd, Kieran Read ni Ryan Crotty, ya que dejaron el equipo.
En tanto, el gran fichaje de la temporada fue el cambio de Beauden Barrett de los Hurricanes a los Blues. Por otra parte, Highlanders perdió a Ben Smith y Waisake Naholo en lo que podría ser una temporada de Super Rugby difícil para la franquicia Dunedin bajo Aaron Mauger.
Mientras tanto, los Chiefs, ahora bajo la tutela del ex entrenador de Gales, Warren Gatland, recuperaron a Aaron Cruden.
