The hosts secured a 12th Super Rugby title, a second in the domestic edition and the fifth in a row.
Winger Sevu Reece and fullback Will Jordan scored tries in the first 16 minutes but the Crusaders - reduced to 13 men in the second half - then had to rely on the boot of Richie Mo'unga to keep the Chiefs at arm's length.

Damian McKenzie scored all the points for the Chiefs with a converted try and two penalties, but the fullback will rue his usual accuracy from the tee deserting him for a period around halftime when he missed three shots at goal.
