The 2016–17 British and Irish Cup is the eighth season of the annual rugby union competition for second tier, semi-professional clubs from Britain and Ireland. London Welsh are the defending champions having won the 2015–16 final against Yorkshire Carnegie 10–33 at Headingley Carnegie Stadium, Leeds on 10 April 2016. There have been six different winners and seven different losing finalists in the seven seasons of its existence. The format of the competition is similar to last season with Scottish clubs not competing. For the second consecutive season the four Welsh teams are the reserve sides of the teams competing in the Pro 12 competition instead of clubs from the Welsh Premier Division.

Competition format

The competition format is a pool stage followed by a knockout stage. The pool stage consists of five pools of four teams playing home and away matches. The top side in each pool, plus the three best runners-up, progress to the knockout stage. The eight quarter-finalists are ranked, with top four teams having home advantage. The four winning quarter-finalists progress to the semi-final draw. Most matches are played on the same weekends as the European Champions Cup and European Challenge Cup. First round matches begin on 14 October 2016 and the final will be held on the 22 April 2017.

Participating teams and locations

The allocation of teams is as follows:

– twelve clubs from RFU Championship
– four Irish provinces represented by 'A' teams
– four Welsh regions represented by Premiership Select teams.
