The Kenya Cup is the highest level league in Kenya and is yet to turn professional.
Since the early 1960s The Eric Shirley Shield has been competed by club 2nd XV's and smaller clubs.
The national cup competition, Enterprise Cup, has been played almost uninterrupted since 1930 (with the exception of the war years and 1987 during the All African Games).
In addition there is the National Sevens Circuit and other competitions such as the Great Rift 10-A-Side rugby tournament which many clubs take part in.

The East African Bamburi Rugby Super Series also takes place in Kenya.
With a franchised system, players from different clubs join together producing a higher quality of rugby.
