NSW Cup
Every NSW Cup premier since the competition took that name in 2008. New South Wales' second-tier reserve-grade competition below the NRL, renamed several times (Intrust Super Premiership NSW 2016-2018, Canterbury Cup NSW 2019-2020, NSW Cup again from 2021) but the same continuous competition throughout.
Data last verified: 11 August 2026.

Two seasons with no premier
Both 2020 and 2021 were disrupted by COVID-19 and ended with no finals series and no premier crowned — shown as genuine gaps in the record ("Not held") rather than silently skipped, so the season count stays honest.
