From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The African Development Trophy also called CAR Development Trophy was a rugby union tournament organised by Rugby Africa from 2004 to 2010. CAR stands for Confederation of African Rugby. Initially referred to as African Super 16, the name was changed to CAR Castel Beer Trophy in 2008 for sponsorship reasons.[1]
