Current season

The Boland Cavaliers (Boland Kavaliers in Afrikaans), also (known for sponsorship reasons as the Sanlam Boland Cavaliers ) are a South African rugby union team that participates in the annual Currie Cup tournament. They draw players from the Cape Winelands and West Coast districts of Western Cape Province, and play out of Wellington at Boland Stadium.

On the 12th of October 2023 the Boland Rugby (Pty) Ltd announced an exciting and transformative equity partnership with Stellenbosch Academy of Sport and a consortium comprising companies controlled by the Motsepe family.

South African billionaires Patrice Motsepe and Johann Rupert , majority shareholders of the Pretoria-based sports company Blue Bulls Company , acquired a controlling interest in the Boland Rugby Union.

This partnership is poised to redefine the future of rugby in the Boland region at amateur and professional levels, a talent-rich area with over 200 registered amateur rugby clubs, making it one of the largest rugby unions in South Africa.

The new partnership will have the Motsepe consortium and SAS own 74% of the Boland rugby professional arm with the Boland Rugby Union retaining 26%. The new partners will have a collaborative arrangement to cultivate a shared commitment to providing substantial resources and expertise to support the Boland Rugby Union's growth and development initiatives.
