2018 season

The 2018 Intrust Super Premiership NSW season will be the tenth season of the New South Wales Cup, the top rugby league competition administered by the New South Wales Rugby League. The competition acts as a second-tier league to the ten New South Wales-based National Rugby League clubs, as well the Canberra Raiders and New Zealand Warriors. The winner of the Premiership will compete against the winner of the 2018 Queensland Intrust Super Cup in the 2018 NRL State Championship. The Penrith Panthers are the defending champions, following their 20-12 victory against the Wyong Roos in the 2017 grand final.[1]

Teams

In 2018, 12 clubs will field teams in the Intrust Super Premiership. Illawarra RLFC will be renamed to the St George Illawarra Dragons to bring the club in line with the NRL’s ‘whole of game’ strategy, that will also see top-grade squads increased from 25 players to 30.[2]

An under-20s competition will be run in parallel to the New South Wales Cup.[3]
