The competition, known as the Hostplus Cup due to sponsorship, featured 15 teams playing a 27-week long season (including finals) from March to September.
Minor premiers Burleigh Bears won the Grand Final 22âÂÂ8 against the 2024 premiers Norths Devils.

With the breeze behind the backs, the Norths Devils opened the scoring in the 12th minute, Sean O'Sullivan converting a penalty attempt at goal from almost directly in front of the posts. Burleigh forward Adam Christensen scored the first try of the Grand Final in the 19th minute running on to a pass from halfback Guy Hamilton, with former Bears captain Sami Sauiluma extending the minor premiers lead to 10âÂÂ2 a few minutes later. Sauiluma grounding the ball across the try line after gathering a kick from Hamilton.
The Bears had suffered an injury blow when fullback Creedance Toia was forced off the field, while Hamilton was also hobbled by a leg injury following his two try assists. After the Bears were denied a potential try by the referee in the 33rd minute, the Devils hit back in the 37th minute with Jordan Lipp scoring a try to head to the half time break down by just two points.
Norths almost scored in the opening minute of the second half through Manese Kaho, but the winger lost control of the ball in the corner. Burleigh's defence was able to keep out multiple Norths attempts inside their own half, absorbing the pressure being applied by the reigning premiers.
A 40âÂÂ20 kick from Bears five-eighth Josh Rogers in the 56th minute gave the Bears their first real attacking chance of the second half, and a few minutes later a deft grubber kick from Cole Geyer evaded the Devils defence for Troy Leo to score a try.
With a 16âÂÂ8 lead, the Bears took control of the contest and extended their advantage with less than 10 minutes remaining when Rogers grabbed a Hamilton chip kick above the defence to score adjacent to the posts. His goal taking the score out to 22âÂÂ8 as the Bears shut out the Devils to claim their fifth Queensland Cup title.
As premiers of the Queensland Cup, the Burleigh Bears faced NSW Cup premiers the New Zealand Warriors in the NRL State Championship.
