The Crusaders (formerly the Canterbury Crusaders) are a New Zealand Rugby Union team based in Christchurch, New Zealand that competes in the Super 14 (formerly the Super 12). They are the current Super 14 champions and the most successful team in Super Rugby history. The franchise represents the Buller, Canterbury, Mid-Canterbury, South Canterbury, Tasman, and West Coast provincial rugby unions. Their main home ground is Jade Stadium.
Formed in 1996 to represent the upper South Island of New Zealand in the Super 12, the team struggled in its first year, finishing last. Their performance improved in 1997 and the team finished sixth (out of twelve teams). Between 1998 and 2000 the team won all three titles, with each final won away from home. Between 2001 and 2005 they finished runners-up twice, and won the competition twice, including in their 2002 unbeaten season. In 2006 the Crusaders hosted the Hurricanes in the inaugural Super 14 final, winning 19-12.
