Contents

The competition is split into three different tiers. At one point, both the Blowes Cup and the New Holland Cup were the same competition until the split in 2017.

The greatest team to date is heavily debated, but it's argued that the 2019 CSU Mitchell Rugby team takes out that crown. This team defined all odds beating the notorious Narromine Gorillas at their home ground in the 2019 New Holland Cup Grand Final, winning 32-31, incredible individual performance from Zander Bennett, kicking the final penalty goal with seconds to go to gift the Students their first premiership in almost 20 years. Golden Boot Bennett.
