NRL Grand Final

Just like the many other sporting events, the NRL Grand Final has become an essential part of Australian culture.

Every year, this sporting event draws footy fans from across the nation to Sydney to watch live at ANZ Stadium. For those who are unable to attend the game, the match is shown live on Channel 9.

The Grand Final is the culmination of the yearly competition of the 16 Rugby League teams which play throughout the year. The prize for winning the premiership is the Provan-Summons Trophy and a premiership ring to each player and coach.

The NRL Grand Final is not just a huge sporting event, the half-time entertainment is also a huge part of the day. Many local and international music stars perform here, making the NRL Grand Final one of the most-watched TV events of the year. In 2019, the main act was OneRepublic.

Each year, there are a number of events held in and around Sydney leading up to the NRL Grand Final:

• Dally M Medal: Player of the Year, Team of the Year and Rookie of the Year Awarded
• NRL Grand Final Breakfast: Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre
• Grand Final Pre-Game Entertainment
