History

After the formation of the Women's NRL League in 2018 it was announced that the title would be decided by a playoff series and Grand Final as the men's competition does as well. The first two Grand Finals were held at the ANZ Stadium on the same day and before the men's Grand Final.

Trophy and awards

Premiership rings

The NRL present premiership rings for the players and coach of grand final winning sides. Affinity Diamonds have produced the NRL Women's premiership rings [1]

Prize money

Prize money is awarded to the victorious club.

However the amount is probably not reflective of the magnitude of participating in the event. It is often assumed simply that the winner of the premiership typically experiences an increase in revenue through increases in membership and merchandise sales.
