Teams | 15 |
The 2024 Queensland Cup season is the 29th season of Queensland's top-level statewide rugby league competition run by the Queensland Rugby League. The competition, known as the Hostplus Cup due to sponsorship, features 15 teams playing a 26-week long season (including finals) from March to September. The Brisbane Tigers are the defending premiers, having won the competition for the first time in their history in 2023.
Teams[edit]
In 2024, the line-up of teams was unchanged from the 2023 season. There were a number of affiliation changes during 2023. The Burleigh Bears switched to the Broncos,[1] while the Ipswich Jets joined the Titans.[2]
The Townsville Blackhawks (South Sydney Rabbitohs) and Western Clydesdales (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs) maintain affiliations with NSW-based NRL clubs, and usually do not receive any players to play in Queensland Cup for these teams. However in April, a player availability issue at the Townsville Blackhawks saw South Sydney loan a player to the Blackhawks in a switch signed off by both the New South Wales Rugby League and Queensland Rugby League governing bodies.[3]
