The2024 NRL Women's season is the seventh professional season of theNRL Women's Premiership. The number of teams (ten), start date (25 July 2024) and duration of the season (eleven weeks) was confirmed by theNRL, with the release of the draw on 13 November 2023.[1] Possible expansion in the number of teams for 2024 had been discussed by theAustralian Rugby League Commission during October 2023.[2][3]
The ten teams that participated in the 2023 season returned for the 2024 season.
Notes:
Ten teams will play each other once across nine rounds, followed by a two-week final series involving the top four teams. First place on the ladder plays fourth-place and second-place plays third-place in semi-finals, with the winners meeting in the Grand Final.[16]
The start, duration, and conclusion of the 2024 season was influenced by several factors.
On 12 June 2024, the Canberra Raiders announced a trial match against the Newcastle Knights.[18] On 18 June 2024, the Brisbane Broncos announced a trial match against the Wests Tigers.[19] On 3 July 2024, the NRL announced remaining trial fixtures.[20]
