Officiating the Greatest Game of All

Welcome to the Brisbane Rugby League Referees Association or the BRLRA. We’re dedicated to upholding the game’s integrity and standards, applying the rules in a consistent and fair way, and ensuring matches of rugby league throughout Brisbane are officiated to the best standard possible. We’re all about fairness, fun, friendships and of course, on-field excellence.

We currently have over 430 members, with around 280 active members officiating more than 450 games per week across more than 50 separate clubs. It is a big job to ensure we can supply referees so the players get to play each week.

In 2026, we celebrate our centenary – 100 years of officiating rugby league in Brisbane. 

You can find news, about us, our history,  our leadership, and our contact details.
