Bulimba Cup
Football competition in Queensland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bulimba Cup was an Australian rugby league football competition contested by the Brisbane, Ipswich and Toowoomba representative rugby league sides during the mid 20th century. In 1931, a team from Lismore, New South Wales participated. It was first contested in 1925 but was cancelled in 1972 due to waning public interest caused by a greater focus on Brisbane club football.

The Bulimba Cup trophy was provided by the Queensland Brewery.[1]
The competition was normally played as a round-robin with each team playing each other twice. On the rare occasions when teams finished evenly at the conclusion of 6 games, a playoff was held to determine the winner. From 1969 onwards, a final was held.
In 2005 the Queensland Rugby League issued a commemorative jersey to celebrate the 80th anniversary of this competition.[2]
