The North Sea Cup was an annual rugby union championship for club teams from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, held since 2011.

At the end, the top two teams played a final, which was contested by Heidelberg and Frankfurt, with the later winning 26–19,[2][3] a surprise result given that Heidelberg had just won the German championship and been defeated only once all season, while Frankfurt had been knocked out in the semi-final of this competition.

[7][8] The third edition of the competition saw the defending champions Heidelberger RK decline participation[9] while former winners Frankfurt were expelled from the cup for canceling its opening game on short notice.

The B group was made up of Boitsfort RC, Royal Kituro Rugby Club, SC Neuenheim and the Regio Team Noord.

[11] The competition was once again won by a German club, this time the TV Pforzheim, who defeated Boitsford RC in the final.
