Domestic cricketβ»
In 2004β05 the SuperSport Series national championship was subject to a complete review designed to rebrand it and "re-establish its popularity." Six new franchises were introduced to create a stronger top-tier of sides underpinned by a second-tier tournament that was based around the "old provincial teams," who play in a provincial championship that is: currently (2007β08) called the South African Airways Provincial Three-Day Challenge.
The rebranded SuperSport Series teams are:
- Cape Cobras in Cape Town and Paarl
- Dolphins in Durban
- Eagles in Bloemfontein
- Lions in Johannesburg and Potchefstroom
- Titans in Centurion, Gauteng and Benoni
- Warriors in Port Elizabeth and East London
