Illawarra rugby clubs face potential collapse over 2027 reforms eliminating third-grade play, threatening community and sustainability.
Historic Illawarra rugby clubs fear folding due to proposed 2027 league reforms that would eliminate the third-grade Harrigan Shield, leaving only two open-age divisions.
They say the change, linked to conditions for Sutherland Loftus Pirates’ entry into the Harrigan Cup, threatens club sustainability, player safety, and community participation.
Many clubs, some with decades-long histories, argue they lack resources to compete in higher grades and feel pressured by the Illawarra Rugby League and NSWRL.
Leaders urge reconsideration to preserve local rugby.
