Notes, by series
| Season | Notes |
|---|---|
| 2018 | Inaugural season. 4 foundation clubs (Broncos, Roosters, St George Illawarra Dragons, New Zealand Warriors), round-robin with the top 2 going straight to the Grand Final — no separate finals series yet. |
| 2019 | Still 4 clubs, same top-2-to-Grand-Final format. |
| 2020 | Brisbane's third straight title (2018-2020 three-peat). Still 4 clubs. |
| 2021 | The "2021" season was postponed twice by COVID-19 and its fixtures were actually played February-April 2022 (Grand Final 10 Apr 2022) — officially still recorded as the 2021 season. Expanded to 6 clubs (Gold Coast Titans, Newcastle Knights and Parramatta Eels joined), but the New Zealand Warriors were in recess due to COVID-19. First season with a multi-stage finals series (semi-finals preceding the Grand Final) rather than a straight top-2 decider. The Roosters won their maiden title; Brisbane won the minor premiership but lost in the finals. |
| 2022 | Same 6 clubs as 2021 (Warriors still absent). Newcastle's maiden title. Last season before the competition went fully professional with full-time playing contracts. |
| 2023 | Expanded to 10 clubs (Canberra Raiders, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, North Queensland Cowboys and Wests Tigers joined). Newcastle's back-to-back title. |
| 2024 | Roosters led 24-0 at half-time before the Sharks mounted a second-half comeback that fell short; attendance 40,623. Still 10 clubs. The Sharks' first-ever NRLW Grand Final appearance, in only their second season in the competition. Independently re-verified by the assistant. |
| 2025 | Expanded to 12 clubs (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs entered as an inaugural participant; the New Zealand Warriors returned after a 4-season COVID-related absence). Finals series further expanded to a 3-week, 6-team format. Sydney Roosters were minor premiers (undefeated, 11-0) but lost the Grand Final — Brisbane's return to the top after a 5-year Grand Final absence. Independently re-verified by the assistant. |
2021 season played in 2022
The "2021" NRLW season was postponed twice by COVID-19 and its fixtures actually took place in February-April 2022 (Grand Final played 10 April 2022) — it is officially recorded and referred to throughout as the 2021 season despite this.
