Domestic Competition
Fiji currently has a professional six team domestic competition, the Colonial Cup (similar in design to Super Rugby). Before this, Fiji had 12 Division One teams. Five teams were made up of the players from the 12 Division One teams, based on regional lines, with the aim of creating a "more competitive competition that leads on and provides a higher level of competitive domestic rugby".
The FRU also has developed a base pay for players at international level.
Domestic competitions include the Farebrother-Sullivan Cup, and a Domestic 7's tournament.

“The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”
