Ron Massey Cup

Main article: Ron Massey Cup

2026 Leagues Club Australia Ron Massey Cup
Duration	21 March – 5/6 September 2026
Teams	10

The Ron Massey Cup (named the Leagues Club Australia Ron Massey Cup for sponsorship reasons) is a semi-professional open-age competition administered by the NSWRL. It sits below the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup in the state's senior pathway structure and features clubs from across metropolitan Sydney and surrounding regions. The competition provides opportunities for players, coaches and match officials who are close to, or returning from, higher levels to remain in a high-standard environment.

Teams

• The 2026 will feature 10 teams, 1 up from the 9 that competed in 2025. Following their 2025 Sydney Shield premiership, Manly Leagues opted to join the Ron Massey Cup for 2026.
• Ryde-Eastwood Hawks – with the sale of TG Millner Oval, Ryde-Eastwood will play home games at Lidcombe Oval.
