NSW Central Coast Rugby League first-grade grand finals

This article provides information on the First Grade or A Grade premiership deciders of Rugby League competitions held on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. The Match Details sub-section details the individual point-scorers in a match, where known. That section shall be expanded upon in the near future.

The current competition is conducted under the auspices of the Central Coast Division Rugby League, an affiliate of NSW Country Rugby League and the New South Wales Rugby League.

List

Note:

  • Most competitions between 1915 and 1936 were decided without a finals series. The premiers being the team with the most points in the league, after an agreed number of rounds. In most seasons, a knock-out competition, usually open to all teams, took place after the premiership was decided.
  • During 2003, 2004 and 2005, five of the clubs fielded teams in the Jim Beam Cup or the Newcastle Rugby League. Their reserves team played in this competition, referred to as "First Division", along with the top sides of the other clubs.
  • The colour boxes reflected the club colours in the corresponding season. Ourimbah, Wyong, Woy Woy and The Entrance have changed colours during their history.
  • Prior to Grand Finals becoming compulsory in 1956, a Grand Final was held only if the minor premier was beaten either in the semi-final of Final.
