The 2025 NRL Women's season will be the eighth professional season of the NRL Women's Premiership. The number of teams (twelve) is an increase on the 2024 season by the readmission of the New Zealand Warriors and the introduction of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. The expansion in 2025 was confirmed by the NRL in March 2024. ^[1] The start date and duration of the season was confirmed by the NRL with the release of the draw on 21 November 2024. ^[2]

Teams

The ten teams that participated in the 2024 season will return for the 2025 season with the addition of the New Zealand Warriors, who return after a four-season hiatus, and new entrant Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Notes:

• In early July 2024 the Warriors announced Ronald Griffiths as their coach.
• In late October 2024 the Dragons announced Nathan Cross as their coach.

Scheduling

The start, duration, and conclusion of the 2025 season was influenced by several factors.

• A seven-week preparation period. ^[14]
• Two weeks of leave.
• A change to the format of the final series from four teams over two weeks to six teams over three weeks. Winners of 3rd place versus 6th place and 4th place versus 5th place in Week 1 meet 1st place and 2nd place in Week 2 semi-finals. Winners of the semi-finals meet in the Grand Final in Week 3. ^[2]
• Decision on the length of the regular season to use the minimum of eleven rounds required for the twelve teams to play each of their opponents once.
• A three-match Women's State of Origin series on 1 May (in Brisbane), 15 May (in Sydney), and 29 May (in Newcastle) 2025. All three matches are to be played on Thursday nights. ^[15]
  • The 1st match was brought forward from 16 May (2024) to 1 May (2025). The 1st match again preceded Magic Round.
  • Matches were two weeks apart in 2025, whereas they were three weeks apart in 2024.

Both the New South Wales and Queensland State premiership competitions will run in parallel with the 2025 NRLW season. ^[16] This is a scheduling change for Queensland, which in 2024 ran from early March to late May.

Trial matches

On 5 June 2025, the NRL announced a trial match between the Brisbane Broncos and Papua New Guinea Orchids. ^[17] On 10 June, the Newcastle Knights announced their team for a trial match on the following Sunday. ^[18] The Gold Coast Titans announced a trail match against the North Queensland Cowboys, with the teams playing for the Brittany Breayley-Nati–Jenni-Sue Hoepper Shield as they did in 2024. ^[19] On 16 June 2025, the Cronulla Sharks announced a trail for the following Sunday. ^[20] On 17 June 2025, the Wests Tigers announced a trail and their team for the following Sunday. ^[21] On the same day, the Canterbury Bulldogs announced a trail and their team for the following Saturday evening. ^[22]

There will be a grand total of 66 regular season matches. The schedule includes 33 double-headers, 18 of which feature the same away club (marked in bold in the Format column). There are 15 double-headers where the home club is the same but teams from two different away clubs feature. ^[2]

On 17 February 2025, the New Zealand Warriors announced that the last three of their five home games would be played at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton. ^[27]

Notes regarding the Format column of the below tables:

• NRLW NRL (in bold) indicates that the away team is the same for both matches.
• NRLW NRL (in plan text) indicates that the away team for the NRL match is from a different club.
• Where NRLW is listed second, the NRLW game is to be played after the NRL game.
