The Premiership Rugby Director of Rugby of the Season is an annual rugby union award presented to coaches in England, which recognises the most outstanding director of rugby in the Premiership each season.
The first Director of Rugby of the Season award was given to Northampton Saints coach Ian McGeechan as part of the 1998âÂÂ99 end of season awards.
Mark McCall has won the award a record five times, all with Saracens. Rob Baxter is the only other coach to have won the award more than once.
Following the 2024âÂÂ25 season, the award was presented as part of The Rugby Awards, joining Premiership Rugby, the Rugby Players' Association (RPA), Premiership Women's Rugby (PWR) and the Rugby Football Union (RFU). A shortlist is chosen by a panel consisting of members of the RPA and the media, and the recipient is chosen by the public.
The current holder of the award is Bath's Johann van Graan.
