The 2015 New South Wales Cup season, was the second tier rugby league competition held in New South Wales, after the National Rugby League. The 2015 season kicked off on 7 March 2015 and was won by the Newcastle Knights.
In 2015, 12 clubs were fielding teams in the New South Wales Cup.
It was announced in 2014 that the longstanding relationship between the Sydney Roosters and the Newtown Jets had come to an end, with the NRL Club deciding to link with the Wyong Roos in the NSW Cup as their feeder club. [1] The Cronulla Sharks decided to pull their own team from the competition opting into taking the Newtown Jets on as their feeder club, forming a new relationship with a 3-year agreement between the clubs. [2]
*: The season the team joined is in the NSW Cup, not any other competition before this.
For the fourth year in a row, the NSWRL used the finals system previously implemented by the ARL competition from the 1990s and the NRL from 2012 to decide the grand finalists from the top eight finishing teams.
