2000 NRL Season — Final Regular-Season Ladder

14 clubs — the competition was reduced from 17 teams in 1999 (the season after the Super League War/ARL merger) down to 14 in 2000, which then stayed the standard club count through 2006 before expanding again in 2007. A full 26-game round-robin season, no byes.

Sourcing caveat: North Queensland's competition points (12) reflect a 2-point deduction for fielding an ineligible 14th player against Parramatta in Round 4 — their on-field record was 7 wins, 19 losses (14 points under standard scoring), reduced to 12.
