National Rugby League reserves affiliations
The National Rugby League (NRL) is the top league of professional rugby league clubs in Australasia. Run by the Australian Rugby League Commission, however, there has not been a league-wide Reserve Grade competition since 1988, when the former New South Wales Rugby League expanded interstate to make the first attempt at a national competition, with the NRL Reserve Grade competition being shut down at the end of the 2002 season.
As a result, NRL-listed players who are not selected in their senior teams are made eligible to play in one of the second-tier state leagues: the New South Wales Cup or the Queensland Cup. The system used to accommodate NRL-listed players within these leagues varies considerably from state to state.
Current affiliations
In the 2024 season, the seventeen National Rugby League clubs will have the following reserves arrangements.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- The
PNG Hunters and
Western Clydesdales in the Queensland Cup are currently the only clubs in either state-based competition without an NRL affiliation.[7]
