The Stormers are a South African Rugby Union team competing in the Super 12 competition. They are based in Cape Town and centred around the Western Province union, but also draw players from the Eagles. In 1996, they competed in the Super 12 as Western Province. In 1997, they did not compete, the 4th South African team being the Orange Free State (a region now represented by the Cats).
They have never reached the final of the Super 12 competition, having been eliminated in the semi-finals in their best two years, 1999 and 2004.
