The 2025/26 United Rugby Championship Grand Final is almost upon us, with Leinster and the Bulls gearing up to compete for the trophy.
Defending United Rugby Championship winners Leinster have qualified for their second successive final, as they look to retain the trophy for the first time since 2020/21.
The Irishmen finished second in the regular season standings, just two points off top spot, and booked their place in the showpiece via a 59-10 demolition of the Lions in the quarter finals and a comfortable 20-11 win over the Stormers in the semis.
Meanwhile, the Bulls are set to compete in their fourth final in the last five years, ensuring that - for a fifth successive season - a South African team will contest the final.
The Stormers are the only South African side to ever win the URC title - beating the Bulls 18-13 in the 2021/22 final - with the Pretoria based side looking for their first title.
Having finished third in the overall standings, the Bulls shocked many to reach the final, following up a 45-14 win against Munster in the quarter finals with a 21-22 away semi final victory against Glasgow Warriors - who topped the regular season table.
With all that in mind, let's take a look at how the odds suggest the United Rugby Championship Grand Final will unfold.
Friday 19th June 2026 at Croke Park in Dublin, kicking off at 19:30 BST
In what is a repeat of last season's final - which saw Leinster comfortably defeat the Bulls 32-7 - the South African side will be hoping for revenge.
Home advantage is set to play a key role in deciding this fixture, with Leinster hosting their opponents in their native Dublin.
While the match is expected to be much closer than last season's showpiece, the odds still heavily favour the home side.
Leinster are 4/9 favourites to lift the United Rugby Championship title on Friday night, with their opponents priced at 13/8 to win the trophy.
