The 2019 NRL season was the 112th season of professional rugby league in Australia and the 22nd season run by the National Rugby League. The Sydney Roosters became the first team to win back-to-back Premierships since the Brisbane Broncos in 1992–93, and the first to achieve the feat since the unified NRL competition started in 1998.
Teams
[edit]The lineup of teams remained unchanged for the 13th consecutive year.
Pre-season
[edit]The 2019 pre-season featured the All Stars match held on February 15 at AAMI Park.[16] The 2019 World Club Challenge match saw the NRL premiers Sydney Roosters defeat the Super League champions Wigan Warriors.
Regular season
[edit]For the first time, the NRL announced that the entirety of a round of games would be hosted at a single venue, adopting the Super League's Magic Weekend concept. Magic Round took place during Round 9 at Suncorp Stadium.[17]
State of Origin was played in Perth for the first time, with Game 2 of the 2019 series played at Optus Stadium.[18]
