Judgement Day is an annual Welsh Rugby Union event that takes place at Millennium Stadium (currently known for sponsorship reasons as Principality Stadium) in Cardiff and is part of the Pro12 competition. The four regions – Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets – join with the Welsh Rugby Union in organising a double-header fixture at the Millennium Stadium. The annual derby day clash will be repeated for the foreseeable future with the two east Wales regions taking on the two west Wales regions on rotation each season.
