The Bartercard Cup (successor of the Lion Red Cup) was the top level rugby league club competition in New Zealand from 2000 until 2007.
The cup was administered by the New Zealand Rugby League.
The tournament was discontinued by the NZRL in 2007 and was replaced by the Bartercard Premiership in 2008.
In the first season half of the clubs were from Auckland but as the competition went on more and more franchises represented the provinces.
