The CSA Provincial Competitions are three South African domestic cricket competitions run by Cricket South Africa (CSA). Three-day (first-class) and one-day (list-A) competitions were introduced for the 2004–05 season, while a Twenty20 competition was introduced for the 2011–12 season.

The CSA competitions are predominantly contested by South African provincial teams, the number of which has been fixed at thirteen since the 2007–08 season.^{[lower-alpha 1]} A non-South African team, Namibia, has competed since the 2006–07 season, while two invitational teams from Zimbabwe competed in the early seasons. Prior to the introduction of the CSA competitions, the South African provincial teams competed in the Sunfoil Series (better known as the Currie Cup) and the domestic one-day tournament (known under various names). As part of a reorganisation of South Africa's domestic structure, the provincial teams were replaced in those competitions by six franchise teams, which are wholly professional.

Notes

1. Although the teams are called "provincial", they do not correspond exactly to the provinces of South Africa – several provinces are represented by more than one team, while others do not field any teams.
2. KwaZulu-Natal Inland, Gauteng, and Free State all finished equal on points and matches won. Free State had fewer bonus points than the other two teams, which were equal, and so were placed third. KwaZulu-Natal Inland had defeated Gauteng in the teams' head-to-head match, and thus were named champions.
