since its inception, the celtic league/pro12 has been a closed league with no promotion or relegation. under current rules, the three irish teams that finish highest in the league receive berths in the following season's heineken cup, with the remaining provincial side taking part in the european challenge cup. starting with the 2009–10 season, the winners of both european cups have earned berths in the following season's heineken cup separately from their countries' normal allocations. from the inception of the celtic league through the 2010–11 season, the three traditional provincial powers of leinster, munster and ulster claimed all of ireland's heineken cup places, leaving connacht to carry the country's banner in the challenge cup. in 2011–12, all four of ireland's provinces competed in the heineken cup; leinster's victory in the 2011 heineken cup final gave ireland a fourth heineken cup berth, which passed to connacht as leinster were already qualified via the celtic league.
