The National Rugby League (NRL) is the top league of professional rugby league football clubs in Australasia. State of Origin refers to the Australian states or territories where the players originally come from and they play for that team. The main competition is contested by sixteen teams, fifteen of which are based in Australia and one in New Zealand. NRL matches are played throughout Australia and New Zealand from autumn until spring. The season culminates in the premiership-deciding game, the NRL Grand Final, traditionally one of Australia's most popular sporting events and one of the largest attended club championship events in the world. The NRL premiers also play in the World Club Challenge, a pre-season match against the champions of the European Super League competition.

Club Marine Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race

5 August - 7 August 2016
Manly Moreton Bay and islands
www.brisbanetokeppel.com

The Club Marine Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race is hosted by Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron (RQYS) and is the clubs signature offshore event.
The race was launched in 2007 and the inaugural event finished at Great Keppel Island. However this finish line would be short lived with the island closing for major reconstruction and the difficulty in anchoring boats in the shallows around the island.
In 2010 the race attracted high performance yachts Black Jack (Reichel Pugh 66), Wild Oats X (Reichel Pugh 66) and Lahana (98' Maxi). With these key entries, the race is set to become one of the biggest offshore races on the east coast of Australia.
The 348NM race will start east of Green Island on Brisbane's beautiful Moreton Bay. The yachts will cruise along the shorelines of the world famous Fraser Island before crossing the Tropic of Capricorn bound for Keppel Bay Marina.
