The winner of the Grand Challenge league, i.e. the club occupying the No.1 place on the log after the final round of league matches on 10 August 2013, will qualify for the 2014 Cell C Community Cup. If Varsity Cup team NMMU is the winner, the team finishing in 2nd place will qualify.
As defending Community Cup champions, Despatch will qualify automatically for the 2014 tournament should they not finish the 2013 season as the province's highest-finishing non-university club on the final Grand Challenge log.
Log correct as at 10 June 2013.
