The 2025 Queensland Reds season was their 29th and most recent season in the Super Rugby since entering the professional era in 1996. Although the pre-season began in 2024 with a tour to Japan and later the United Kingdom, the domestic season began in February 2025 and finished in July with a match against the touring British & Irish Lions.

Contents

In June 2025 it was announced by Rugby Australia (RA) that a new domestic competition, Super Rugby AUS, would be begin in September 2025. The new competition would only consist of the four Australian Super Rugby franchises: the ACT Brumbies, New South Wales Waratahs, Queensland Reds, and the Western Force, [3] [4] and would largely be in place to support a professional pathway from amateur rugby to professional rugby, as well as non-international Australian players post-Super Rugby season.

Squad and personnel

Coaching personnel

Despite being cited by news outlets as a heavy favourite for the head coach of the Australian rugby team following rumours of a possible coaching vacancy, [5] Reds coach Les Kiss, whom signed with the Reds in 2023 on a three-year deal (2024–2026), [6] repudiated any possibility that he would leave the team while current coach Joe Schmidt was fulfilling the role. [7] Talking to The Sydney Morning Herald , Kiss said: "I've got too much respect for Joe to go down that path... We've got to get focused on the Reds and go forward, that's what we're excited about. It's too important." He added: "I'm loving what I'm doing at the moment, me and the rest of the staff are in a place where we're really driven and focused to do the best for the boys every day. That’s the thing we do to serve Rugby Australia." [7]

The coaching staff was announced with the rest of the squad in November 2024, remaining unchanged from the previous season (2024). [8]
