Manly Warringah Sea Eagles remains committed to fielding an NRLW team in 2027, with Chief Executive Officer Tony Mestrov re-affirming planning was on track towards the goal.
In the lead up, the Sea Eagles will continue to field teams in the Tarsha Gale Cup - the elite under-19s Women's rugby league competition in NSW and the ACT - and the under-17 Lisa Fiola Cup.
After its inaugural season in the Harvey Norman Women's NSW Premiership this year, the Sea Eagles will pause the reserve grade team next year with a view to bringing it back in 2026.
The support for junior women’s programs remains a key focus to develop top talent in the lead-up to the 2027 NRLW launch of a Manly Warringah Sea Eagles team.
