Premier Rugby Overview

Queensland Premier Rugby evolved out of the Brisbane club competition and was created by players, administrators, referees and coaches to expand and improve the top level of Queensland non-professional rugby.

Queensland Premier Rugby provides a stepping stone to Super Rugby or other professional rugby competitions.

The 2012 Competition involves eight (8) teams from Brisbane and one (1) each from the rugby regions of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Sunnybank were the 2011 Premiers.

The participating clubs and regions in the Queensland Premier Rugby Competition are:

Brothers                      Souths
Easts                           Sunnybank
Rugby Gold Coast    Sunshine Coast RU 
GPS                             University
Norths                         Wests

In future, teams from other Rugby regions may also join the competition, thus encouraging the pursuit of Rugby excellence across the state, not just confining it to one corner.

Some Premier Rugby players aspire to play professionally in the future, either in Australia or overseas, while others just want to be the best Rugby players they can be, without making it their career.

They may not yet be household names, but all are talented and committed and play the game to win.

Contracted players are not excluded from the Queensland Premier Rugby competition, but neither is it dependent on them for success.

Premier Rugby is played by Rugby's “local heroes” at local grounds, where the local Under 6s can watch and learn from these elite players at close quarters - and then get their autograph after the game.

Weekly news about Queensland Premier Rugby can be found in The Courier-Mail (online at http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/rugbyunion/), Brisbane Times, Quest local newspapers, the Sunshine Coast Daily and Gold Coast Bulletin and online at Green n' Gold Rugby

Referee appointments can be found at this link.
