The season began with Northampton Saints holding the crown after their 2023–2024 triumph. Backed by the exciting halfback pairing of Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith, the Saints looked every bit like contenders again. But by spring, it was Bath who had reshaped the story. 

With Finn Russell pulling strings at fly-half, Bath surged past rivals in every competition they entered. Their ability to balance brute force up front with creativity in the back three set them apart from even the most decorated challengers.

At the other end of the table, change was brewing in Newcastle. The long-struggling club was officially taken over by Red Bull in 2025, clearing debts and rebranding as the Newcastle Red Bulls. Though their form still placed them near the bottom, the move promised to usher in a new era in the northeast.

Bath Rugby’s Historic Treble

Bath’s 2024–2025 season will be remembered for decades. The club not only captured the Premiership Rugby title, but also lifted the Premiership Cup and the EPCR Challenge Cup. It marked the first time in their storied history that they claimed three trophies in a single campaign.

Russell’s leadership and tactical poise gave Bath an edge, while Thomas du Toit’s dominance in the front row and Will Stuart’s consistency at tighthead provided a set-piece platform that few opponents could disrupt. In the backline, Carreras added versatility and counterattacking flair. With balance across every unit, Bath built momentum that carried through the regular season and into the playoffs.

Contenders And Changes Elsewhere

Saracens, captained by Maro Itoje, fielded a squad packed with internationals like Ben Earl, but fell short in the postseason. Leicester Tigers again made a final push, with hooker Julián Montoya providing leadership, though they couldn’t match Bath’s depth.

Off the pitch, Newcastle’s Red Bull takeover was arguably the biggest development for the league’s future. By absorbing debt and promising significant investment, the brand positioned the Red Bulls as a club to watch in the coming years.

Legacy Of The 2024-2025 Season

When future seasons are measured, 2024–2025 will stand out as the year Bath Rugby became England’s dominant force again. With their treble achievement and players peppered throughout the FloRugby Top 100, they reestablished themselves among the best domestic sides in the world. 

At the same time, the landscape of the PREM shifted, with new financial backers and young talent setting the stage for the league’s next era.
