NSWRL Community Awards now open

Nominations are now open for the 2026 NSWRL Community Awards — an important opportunity to recognise the people who continue to strengthen and grow Community Rugby League across NSW.

Featuring nine major honours, including the Women in League Award, these awards highlight the individuals making a meaningful impact in creating opportunities for women and girls to participate, lead and thrive in the game.

From volunteers and coaches to referees, administrators and advocates, these contributions are critical to the success and sustainability of Community Rugby League.

Each year, NSWRL acknowledges the outstanding efforts of grassroots clubs and volunteers. With more than 32,000 volunteers across 700 clubs, the scale of contribution across our communities is significant — and worthy of recognition.

The Community Rugby Leagues Association strongly encourages Districts, Groups and Clubs to consider nominations and help ensure those making a difference are recognised at a state level.

🗓 Nominations close: Monday 1 June
