Western Province (known for sponsorship reasons as DHL Western Province) is a South African professional rugby union team previously based for many years in Newlands, Cape Town, before resettling in 2021 at Cape Town Stadium, that participates in the annual Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup tournaments.

They are also known simply as "Province" by all South African rugby lovers, while Afrikaans-speaking supporters also refer to the team by its abbreviation, W.P.

Western Province combine with the Boland Cavaliers to compete as the Stormers in the United Rugby Championship competition.

When the first Currie Cup championship was introduced in 1939, Western Province featured in the final, but lost to Transvaal 17–6 in Cape Town.

The Currie Cup became an annual competition in 1969 and Western Province made it to the final that year, though they lost to Northern Transvaal.

Three years later they won the Currie Cup, sharing with Northern Transvaal at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town.

During South Africa's sporting isolation (brought about as a result of the country's apartheid policy) this rivalry took centre stage and became the climax of the Currie Cup season.

They won the Currie Cup in 1997, defeating the Free State Cheetahs, but the following season they lost to the Blue Bulls (Northern Transvaal).

2010 saw the return of the club as they managed to make both the Super Rugby and Currie Cup finals losing on both occasions.

Western Province continued to dominate the Currie Cup by making the 3 finals in as many years and won the 2014 title beating the Lions in a tight fought match.

In the recent times and in terms of competitions won on all levels, Western Province has been the most successful Rugby Union in South Africa over the period 2011–2015.

The ground has been continually developed over the past century, entirely due to the efforts of the Western Province Rugby Football Union and its administrators.

Western Province continued to have the largest crowd attendance of all the local and international Super Rugby Teams.
