Malaysian Super Schools Rugby (SSR) is the premier youth rugby 15's tournament featuring some of the best schools from all over the country.
First launched in 2013, the tournament has become host to the finest U17 rugby action in the country, with former participants going on to represent the national team in age-level competition and also the senior squad.
Format For the 9th Edition of Super Schools Rugby 2024, 5 new teams, Sekolah Menengah Sains Pokok Sena (SAINA), Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Abi, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Yahya Petra 1, Sekolah Berasrama Penuh Integrasi Gombak, MRSM Balik Pulau have been invited to the tournament. For the 10th Edition of Super Schools Rugby 2025, five more new teams have been selected, bringing the total number of teams to 24 that will compete in this prestigious youth rugby tournament.
24 teams split into six pools of four teams, with top 2 teams from each pool qualify for the 2nd round while other 4 teams (the best 3rd place) will also join for the 2nd round.
Winners from 2nd round will progress into the quarter-finals then progress to semi finals - and winners from semi finals will compete in the Grand Finals for the right to lift the Tan Sri Wan Aziz Challenge Trophy.
Starting in 2024, the Academy category has been introduced featuring 7 state academies/sports schools. A year later, in 2025, 5 teams were added, bringing the total to 12 teams.
Since 2016, the cup is known as Malaysia Airports Chairman’s Challenge Trophy.
