The Boland Cavaliers (Afrikaans: Boland Kavaliers) are a South African rugby union team that participates in the annual SA Cup and Currie Cup tournament. They draw players from the Cape Winelands and West Coast districts of Western Cape Province, and play out of Wellington at Boland Stadium.
In October 2023 Boland announced a partnership with the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport and a consortium comprising companies controlled by South African billionaires Patrice Motsepe and Johann Rupert.
The partnership sees the Motsepe consortium and SAS own 74% of the Boland rugby professional arm with the Boland Rugby Union retaining 26%.
On the 10th of May 2025 The Sanlam Boland Cavaliers qualified for the semifinal of the SA Cup after beating Eastern Province Elephants 36-22 in a Round Nine SA Cup clash at the Nelson Mandela University stadium in Gqeberha. The victory meant that the Cavaliers finished in the top 4 of the SA Cup and by doing that they qualified for the Currie Cup Premier Division and ended a nine-year wait to play in the Currie Cup Premier Division. They last had the honour of taking on the country's best provincial sides in 2016 before being relegated to the Currie Cup First Division.
