The 2015 Under-19 Provincial Championship Group B was contested from 15 August to 8 October 2015. The tournament (also known as the ABSA Under-19 Provincial Championship for sponsorship reasons) was the second tier of the 2015 edition of the Under-19 Provincial Championship, an annual Under-19 inter-provincial rugby union competition featuring fifteen South African provincial unions.

The tournament was won by the Griffons U19s; they beat the Pumas U19 24–21 in the final played on 8 October 2015.

The 2015 season was the final season that the smaller provincial unions competed at Under-19 level; from 2016, the Under-19 and Under-21 championships would be merged into a single Under-20 Provincial Championship.[1]

Competition rules and information

There were eight participating teams in the 2015 Under-19 Provincial Championship Group B. These teams played each other once over the course of the season, either at home or away.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams qualified for the title play-off semi-finals. The team that finished first had home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second had home advantage against the team that finished third. The final was played as a curtain raiser for the 2015 Currie Cup First Division final.
