This is a list of the winners of First Grade Rugby League Premiership competitions held on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Football matches under Rugby Union rules were played by clubs from Gosford, Ourimbah and Wyong in the years 1905, 1906 and 1907.
Rugby League teams from the NSWRFL lower grade competitions visited and played against Gosford: Balmain on 15 July and South Sydney Federal on 2 September.
[4] Wyong joined the Newcastle Rugby League competition in 1912, competing in Second Grade that season and in 1913 and 1914.
The season format was to conduct a premiership competition, in which all teams played the same number of matches, followed by a knock-out.
Gaps in the table in 1927 and 1929 are due to the limited availability of issues of the Gosford Times in those years.
However, on appeal to the parent body, Newcastle Rugby League, a protest that the local association had dismissed was overturned.
Wyong were awarded an additional four points for a first grade game they had lost, in which Ourimbah fielded an unregistered player.
The team that defeated Gosford by the biggest margin was invited back at the end of the season to play a grand final for a trophy cup.
[53] Gosford's 1939 Challenge Cup Grand Final was postponed due to the outbreak of war.
[59] The following year, 1946, Wyong fielded two grade sides in a Southern Newcastle competition.
Wyong's A grade team finished third, between finalists Belmont and Morisset, and Cardiff and Lake Macquarie.
[61] On 1 September 1946 Ourimbah won Gosford's Challenge Cup, by 6 to 3, but lost their own Cup grand finals the following Sunday, being beaten 19 to 8 by BHP Newcastle in A grade, and 18 to nil by Central Newcastle's Under 18 team in B grade.
[62][63] In February 1947 an annual meeting of the Brisbane Water Rugby League Football Association elected office bearers.
[64] By early April, a draw was published, now under the name Central Coast Rugby League Football Association.
Gosford continued to run their challenge cup in 1947 but joined the local league in 1948.
The format involved the completion of a league of regular season matches to determine the minor premier.
The second division had a mix of teams from the district clubs, as well as Davistown, Toukley, Milson Island and Munmorah.
The Entrance were the most successful of the four Central Coast clubs, winning three premierships (2003, 2007 & 2014) in two stints (2003-2007 and 2010-2014).
In 2004, the Kincumber Colts entered First Grade and Northern Lakes and Umina returned, after gaps of six and one seasons, respectively.
