The SuperLiga, known as the CEC Bank SuperLiga for sponsorship reasons, is Romania's national professional men's rugby union football competition. The SuperLiga is administered by the Romanian Rugby Federation (RRF), and is contested by six teams from around Romania. It was formed in 1914 after Stadiul Roman and seventeen other teams were formed in Bucharest from 1913 onwards. The championship has been contested on an annual basis since the inaugural 1914 Divizia Naţională. The first team outside Bucharest was formed at an aircraft factory in Braşov in 1939.
In 1995, Farul Constanţa represented Romania in the Heineken Cup since then no Romanian team has taken part. Romanian championship teams have taken part in the European Challenge Cup in several seasons. Since then Romania has been represented by Bucureşti Wolves which is drawn from the domestic Romanian leagues.
