Up to the conclusion of the 2023 season, a total of 26 NRL Premierships have been contested, with an aggregate of 116 when including state-level titles from the NSWRL and ARL. This compilation enumerates every grand final that has determined these premierships.
During the periods from 1912 to 1925 and again in 1937, the NSW premiership was awarded based on a first-past-the-post system, with a final match only staged if teams finished level on points (specifically in the years 1916 and from 1922 to 1924). Between 1926 and 1953, the revised Argus finals system permitted the minor premiers to challenge the winner of the final for the ultimate premiership title. From 1954 onwards, the premiership has been decided exclusively by the grand final match.[1]
