The top six teams will qualify to the [[2015 Super Rugby season#Finals|finals]], with their final positions in the overall log determining their seedings in the finals. The third-placed team (i.e. the conference winners with the worst overall record) will host the sixth-placed team in the [[2015 Super Rugby season#Qualifiers|qualifiers]], while the fourth-placed team will host the fifth-placed team. The top two teams (i.e. the two conference winners with the best overall record) will qualify directly to the [[2015 Super Rugby season#Semi-finals|semi-finals]], where they will have home advantage against the two qualifier winners, with the top team hosting the qualifier winner with the lower seeding and the second-placed team hosting the qualifier winner with the higher seeding. The two semi-final winners will progress to the final, with the team with the higher seeding having home advantage.
