The New England Group 19 Rugby League competition is a Rugby League competition which is run under the auspices of NSWCRL. It is based in the New England North West area. It was originally called the Group 5 Rugby League Premiership but that competition merged with another local competition to form New England Group 19. The competition is generally played on Sundays throughout the winter months, with strong local rivalries as well as inter - town rivalries.

In just their second season in Group 19 the Macintyre Warriors claimed the first grade honours, winning a tight contest over the returning Narwan Eels. The Eels returned to the competition in 2017 after several years hiatus due to unruly supporters and unsportsman like behaviour. Unfortunately the Macintyre Warriors folded in 2018, as a result of many players rejoining the nearby Goondiwindi league side. Their absence paved the way for a return to the premiers circuit for the highly rated Moree Boomerangs, a team that wear their indigenous flag themed jerseys with much pride.
