2017–18 SuperLiga season

The 2017–18 SuperLiga (known for sponsorship reasons) as the CEC Bank SuperLiga is the premier Romanian rugby competition, reserved for club teams. It was the 104th season of the SuperLiga. The current champions are Timișoara Saracens who managed to defend their title by defeating Știința Baia Mare. Since Politehnica Iași have faced financial issues, they will relegate to Divizia Națională de Seniori which means that both Tomitanii Constanța and Gloria Buzău will replace them next season. Also Timișoara Saracens, the winners of the CEC Bank SuperLiga will participate in the European Rugby Continental Shield.
