2024 Queensland Cup

The 2024 Queensland Cup season is the 29th season of Queensland's top-level statewide rugby league competition run by the Queensland Rugby League. The competition, known as the Hostplus Cup due to sponsorship, features 15 teams playing a 26-week long season (including finals) from March to September. The Brisbane Tigers are the defending premiers, having won the competition for the first time in their history in 2023.

Teams

In 2024, the line-up of teams was unchanged from the 2023 season. There were a number of affiliation changes during 2023. The Burleigh Bears switched to the Broncos,[1] while the Ipswich Jets joined the Titans.[2]

The Townsville Blackhawks (South Sydney Rabbitohs) and Western Clydesdales (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs) maintain affiliations with NSW-based NRL clubs, and usually do not receive any players to play in Queensland Cup for these teams. However in April, a player availability issue at the Townsville Blackhawks saw South Sydney loan a player to the Blackhawks in a switch signed off by both the New South Wales Rugby League and Queensland Rugby League governing bodies.[3]
