NRL Telstra Premiership

The National Rugby League, formed in 1998, is the pre-eminent rugby league club competition in Australia and New Zealand.

NRL matches are played in Australia and New Zealand from March to October. The season culminates in the premiership-deciding game, the NRL Grand Final, traditionally one of Australia's most popular sporting events.[5] In addition, the NRL premiers also play in the World Club Challenge against the champions of the Super League competition.[6] The reigning premiers are the Penrith Panthers, having won their third premiership at the conclusion of the 2021 season.
