Bundaberg Red Cup

The Bundaberg Red Cup (formerly known as Jim Beam Cup) is a semi-professional development level rugby league competition in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, run jointly by the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) and the Country Rugby League of New South Wales (CRL). The competition is run concurrently with the National Rugby League (NRL). It currently comprises 8 teams drawn from both the Sydney metropolitan area and The Entrance district. The competition is named after its major sponsor, Bundaberg Rum.

The competition is an expanded version of the former Metropolitan Cup and Second Division competitions. The competition was renamed the Bundaberg Red Cup after the 2008 season (last Jim Beam Cup season), after Bundaberg replaced former sponsor Jim Beam.

The reigning premiers are the Cabramatta Two Blues, after defeating local rivals Mount Pritchard in the 2011 grandfinal at St. Mary's stadiuam on Sunday 4 October 2011. The Two Blues came from behind on the score board to win 28-20 giving the Cabramatta club their first senior state level championship in the club's long history.
