Clubs

In 2015, 12 clubs are fielding teams in the New South Wales Cup.
It was announced in 2014 that the longstanding relationship between the Sydney Roosters and the Newtown Jets has come to an end, with the NRL Club deciding to now link with the Wyong Roos in the NSW Cup as their feeder club. The Cronulla Sharks have decided to pull their own team from the competition opting into taking the Newtown Jets on as their feeder club, forming a new relationship with a 3-year agreement between the clubs.
