Since the start of the Currie Cup competition in 1892 different formats were used to determine the winner. In 1932 and 1934 Western Province and Border shared the trophy when they finished level at the top of the log.The first Currie Cup final was played in 1939, and became an annual event from 1968.Since 1968 only 4 Currie Cup finals ended in draws. In 1971 Transvaal was captained by Piet Greyling and Northern Transvaal by Frik du Preez, when the cup was shared for the first time. Theo Sauerman scored a try in the dying seconds of injury time bringing it to a 14-14 draw. It was Frik du Preez's fourth consecutive final, and also his last Currie Cup match. Piet Greyling led Transvaal the following year (1972) to their first win in 20 years.In 1979 Morne du Plessis and Daan du Plessis shared the cup when  Naas Botha denied Province a win at Newlands with a drop-goal. It was Daan du Plessis' sixth and last Currie Cup final when the match ended in a 15 all draw. Morne's response to the result was: "There is no feeling. It feels like kissing your sister."In 1989 Carel du Plessis spoilt the day for Burger Geldenhuys and his Blue Bulls , when he scored a last minute try to level the score at 16-16. The conversion of Riaan Gous just missed the upright, repeating of the final 10 years earlier.
The 2006 final saw the first in which extra-time was played. 100 minutes later the Cheetahs and Blue Bulls's scores were level at 28-28. Ollie le Roux and Gary Botha became the fourth and final  pair to share the trophy.A month later the president council of SA Rugby decided that the Currie Cup will never be shared again. This means that these 8 captains will be the only ones that ever  shared the Currie Cup. All eight of them were Springboks.

The 8 Springboks that captained the Currie Cup Draws were:

• Frik du Preez (4 finals) that was selected  as rugby player of the century
• Piet Greyling (2 finals) that was one of  the legends of Springbok rugby in the 1960 / 70's
• Morne du Plessis (2 finals) one of the most successful captains for  South Africa, was manager of the victorious  1995 World Cup Champions
• Daan du Plessis (6 finals) never lost a final that he played in
• Burger Geldenhuys shares the record for the most (11)  finals played with Naas Botha Carel du Plessis (7 finals ) was known as the Prince of Wings
• Ollie le Roux played in six finals
• For Gary Botha it was his first as captain,  but his fifth consecutive final match
