NRL Nines
In 2014, the inaugural rugby league nines tournament took place, featuring all sixteen NRL clubs. It was initially staged at Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand. Women's nines games were also fixtured alongside the main tournament between the Australian and New Zealand national women's teams, however in later tournaments included NRLW teams. It was envisaged that the tournament would become a regular fixture each year; however, by 2018, the tournament was removed from the calendar, citing an excessive player workload. It was brought back in 2020, but hasn't been played since for the same reason.
