The New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union (NSWSRU) is affiliated to the New South Wales Rugby Union and runs the competition affectionately known as "Subbies" rugby. There are around 7500 players and 55 clubs competing across 6 divisions, making "Subbies" the largest centrally administered rugby competition in the world. NSWSRU is truly the grassroots of the game in Sydney.
The major trophy in "Subbies" is the Kentwell Cup awarded to the first grade premiers of the first division competition. The NSWSRU selects representative sides to compete against Queensland Suburban, for the Barraclough Shield, and combined Australian Services.
