The 2019 Super Rugby draw has been announced, with this year's competition still yet to wrap up.

SANZAAR sprung the announcement on Tuesday morning, almost three months earlier than the usual unveiling, with venue details still yet to be confirmed for each match.

The competition will kick off a week earlier next year for Australian teams and run uninterrupted for 21 weeks, with the World Cup to follow the provincial competition.

Aside from those tweaks, the tournament will run similarly to this season's, with a three-conference, 15-team format, with eight finalists including three conference winners and five wildcard teams.

Venues for the fixtures are yet to be confirmed, with a number of teams still to finalise their home venues for next year.

The Waratahs are one of those, with the NSW side still mulling where to take its home games while Allianz Stadium is being refurbished, with options including Parramatta Stadium, the SCG and Brookvale Oval among them.

Next year's tournament will finish on July 6, and will be the beginning of a new era for international rugby, with a global calendar being introduced in 2020 to stop the competition from having to pause for mid-year Test windows.
