The 1909 Queensland Rugby League season was the inaugural season of rugby league football club competition in Brisbane, Queensland.

Season summary

The structure for competitive club Rugby League in Brisbane appears to be modelled on how Rugby Union was organised in the city at the time. Rugby Union in 1909 had Senior and Junior divisions, with multiple grades in each.

Four teams entered the senior Rugby League competition: North Brisbane, South Brisbane, Toombul and Valley.

Junior division teams included Milton, North Brisbane, South Brisbane, St Bridget’s, Toombul, Valley. [1]

The first senior club competition matches in Brisbane were played on Saturday, May 8, 1909. Both matches were played at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba. In the first match played, North Brisbane 8 defeated Toombul nil. In the match that followed, South Brisbane 12 defeated Valley 2. [2]

The Final of the competition was held on Saturday, September 4 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba. South Brisbane opened the scoring with a penalty before Valley responded with a converted try. Following a second penalty to South Brisbane, Valley led 5 to 4 at the half-time break. Valley increased their lead in the second half, scoring four tries, converting one. South Brisbane did not add to their score. Full-time: Valley 19 defeated South Brisbane 4. [3]

St Bridget's won the junior premiership with North Brisbane juniors the runner's up. [4] [5]
