New South Wales Rugby Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New South Wales Rugby Union (NSWRU) is the organisation responsible for the sport of rugby union in most of the state of New South Wales, Australia. NSWRU is represented in the Super 14 competition by the NSW Waratahs. NSWRU also runs the Tooheys New Cup and the Shute Shield. The New South Wales Country Rugby Union and the New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union (commonly known as Subbies) are also affiliated to the NSWRU.

The Far South Coast and Southern Inland unions of New South Wales are not affiliated with the NSWRU. They joined the ACT Rugby Union in 2004, which led to that body renaming itself the ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union.
