The 2024 challenge features electrifying matches between the Toyota Cheetahs, Western Force from Australia, Emerging Ireland and the Griffons, promising fans a thrilling contest that spans the northern and southern hemispheres.

The 2024 Toyota Challenge will again boast almost R1 million in prize money, with R300 000 awarded for each main match. This significant prize money not only adds to the intensity of the competition but also recognizes the outstanding efforts of the teams with a considerable amount of prize money for the Toyota Legendary Man of the Match and a new award, the Legendary Moment award, for the player or players who were responsible for a magic—or turnaround moment in the game.
Fans supporting their favourite teams at Toyota Stadium and on social media will have much to look forward to. In addition to the prizes for the winning teams, cash prizes will be up for grabs for fans. Take a selfie while attending the matches, use the hashtag #ToyotaChallenge and stand a chance to win R10 000 on each game day.
