The 2024 Newcastle Rugby League[1] was a competition to determine the best semi-professional rugby league team in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. Season 2024 saw Maitland Pickers defeat Central Newcastle in the First Grade Grand Final, 24–4. This was Maitland's 15th premiership in the competition's history.[1] Central Newcastle appeared in their first Grand Final since 1963, breaking a 49-year drought. The inaugural Women's Premiership was also contested in 2024, with Maitland Pickers Women's team claiming the title.[2] The official Newcastle Rugby League commentary team consisted of Tony Delaney and Peter Jolly, delivering expert analysis and post-game interviews.
