Rugby League betting is one of the favourite pursuits of Australian football fans and punters, and the diverse betting market, strength and speed demanded from players, and the high level of competition ensure that the Rugby League betting markets stay alive and plentiful.
There are many different Rugby League competitions, played both domestically and internationally, which have open betting markets for Australian punters and that bookmakers provide odds on including the World Cup, Internationals, Tri Nations, NRL, English Super League, State of Origin, and the World Club Challenge. Below is a more detailed explanation of the leading competitions for Rugby League betting in Australia.
Running between autumn and spring each year, the NRL is the elite Rugby League competition in the southern hemisphere. The NRL Telstra Premiership consists of 26 rounds and the Grand Final decider, contended by 16 teams, 15 Australian and one New Zealand. The teams are the: Brisbane Broncos, Canterbury Bulldogs, North Queensland Cowboys, St George Illawarra Dragons, Parramatta Eels, Newcastle Knights, Penrith Panthers, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Canberra Raiders, Sydney Roosters, Manly Sea Eagles, Cronulla Sharks, Melbourne Storm, Gold Coast Titans, New Zealand Warriors and the Wests Tigers.
The State of Origin is a three-match event held in the middle of the standard NRL season in Australia each year, played by the Queensland Maroons and the New South Wales Blues. The NRL’s best players are selected to make up the two teams and represent their state in a tournament that sets ’state against state and mate against mate’ in a Rugby League rivalry that will never see full time for the fans.
