TheBulimba Cup was an Australianrugby league football competition contested by theBrisbane,Ipswich andToowoomba representative rugby league sides during the mid 20th century. In 1931, a team fromLismore, New South Wales participated. It was first contested in 1925 but was cancelled in 1972 due to waning public interest caused by a greater focus on Brisbane club football.
The Bulimba Cup trophy was provided by theQueensland Brewery.[1]
The competition was normally played as around-robin with each team playing each other twice. On the rare occasions when teams finished evenly at the conclusion of 6 games, aplayoff was held to determine the winner. From 1969 onwards, afinal was held.
In 2005 theQueensland Rugby League issued a commemorative jersey to celebrate the 80th anniversary of this competition.[2]
