The Campeonato Nacional de Rugby Divisão de Honra (more commonly known as the Divisão de Honra) is Portugal's top level professional men's rugby union competition. The Divisão de Honra Championships are organised by the Federação Portuguesa de Rugby (Portuguese Rugby Federation) and currently consists of 12 teams. The last placed team in the competition is relegated at the end of the season to the Campeonato Nacional de Rugby I Divisão (Portugal's second level of men's rugby union) with one team from the second-tier competition promoting to the Divisão de Honra.

Format

The Divisão de Honra season takes place between September and March, with three teams being randomly drawn into four groups, playing each other home and away twice for a total of 6 matches per group (24 matches in total). Points are awarded according to the following:

  • 4 points for a win
  • 2 points for a draw
  • 1 bonus point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match
  • 1 bonus point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer

The highest placed teams with the highest number of points within each group will meet each other in a round-robin play-off to determine the champions of the Divisão de Honra while to bottom placed teams in each group will play in a round-robin play-out to determine which team (that finishes last place) will be relegated in the respective season.

Promotion and relegation

The bottom team in the relegation play-out is relegated to the Campeonato Nacional de Rugby I Divisão, while the team that finishes 1st in the second tier of rugby union competitions in Portugal will replace the latter.
