Women’s Rugby League in NSW had an extremely successful 2016 season which saw the NSW Women’s team defeat Queensland and the SMWRL grow even further in strength and profile. There will again be two levels of competition available for Women in 2017.
SMWRL Division 1: The Premier Rugby League competition for Women in New South Wales. A maximum of eight teams will be allowed entry into the top level of competition for the 2017 season.
Expressions of Interest for Division 1 are due 2 December, 2016.
SMWRL Division 2: After running in a nine-a-side format in 2016, this competition will return to a 13-a-side format for 2017. This competition will be administered in line with the NSWRL Junior League Conference Competitions.
Expressions of Interest for Division 2 are now open, with final team nominations not being due until March 2017
