All-Time MLR Standings

This page shows the overall Major League Rugby standings across all MLR seasons to date (2018-2024). These standings act as though every game of MLR has been part of one, years-long season to summarise the performance of clubs throughout their entire history and indeed, the League’s too.

The first table shows the all-time Standings inclusive of both regular season and Championship Series games through the entirely of MLR history. The table below that isolates the combined Regular Season results of all MLR teams, and the third table isolates only the Championship Series games. All three tables include clubs that have subsequently left MLR, and these are indicated in red.

Obviously this table comes with certain caveats. Teams that have been competing in MLR longer, especially founding members, will have a distinct advantage in this table by virtue of having played more games than newer, expansion clubs.

There is also the fact that in MLR itself, Championship Series games award no points in any standings and are instead knock-out matches. For the purposes of this page, Championship Series results have been treated as if they would award points using the same method as regular season games, including Try and Losing Bonus Points, in order to try and maintain an All-Time standings that include every single MLR game ever played.

If this format isn’t to your liking, the below tables break out the all-time regular season standings, and the all-time Championship Series Standings. The Championship Series Standings also include points and try/losing BPs, which have been added for the purposes of this page.
