After another exciting season, the Ballina Seahorsettes and Lismore City Women will meet again in the 2026 FNC Women’s Rugby Grand Final.
A Grand Final rematch
BRS congratulates every team that participated in this year’s competition and contributed to its continued growth.
Following a successful 2025 season, the competition expanded to eight clubs and adopted a 12-a-side format in 2026. As a result, more women have opportunities to participate in rugby across the Far North Coast.
The 2025 Grand Final delivered an unforgettable finish, with Ballina taking the lead on the buzzer to claim the title. Now, twelve months later, the rivalry has been renewed.
Will Ballina go back-to-back, or will Lismore turn the tables in 2026?
Supporting the growth of FNC Women’s Rugby
As a proud sponsor of FNC Women’s Rugby for the second consecutive year, BRS is pleased to support greater visibility, opportunities and pathways for female athletes across the region.
We wish Ballina and Lismore the very best of luck in what is shaping up to be another thrilling Grand Final.
