In 1998, Super League and the ARL merged to form the National Rugby League Championship. This new competition consists of 20 teams - 11 from Sydney, and one each from Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Townsville, Auckland and the Gold Coast. South Queensland, Perth and the Hunter have all been excluded from the competition.
