The 2014 NRL Auckland Nines (known as the Dick Smith NRL Auckland Nines for sponsorship reasons[1]) is the first NRL Auckland Nines tournament, contested between all sixteen teams of the National Rugby League. The draw was released on 30 October 2013.[2][3] It will be a two-day, nine-a-side, knock-out tournament held at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand. All sixteen NRL clubs and 256 players will compete over the one weekend with AUD$2.25 million prize money to be split between the teams.

Rules

There are a number of rule variations that will be implemented to ensure the games are much faster and ensure fewer delays and stoppages.[4] The major Rule changes that differ from regular NRL games are:

  • Two nine minute halves with a two minute half time period.
  • Nine players a side with six unlimited interchange players.
  • Scrums will only form after a double knock on, with attacking teams to elect which side to feed the ball.
  • No video referee, with one on-field referee.
  • Five minute golden try period in qualifying rounds with a draw to be deemed if there is no result, while unlimited golden try for the finals.
  • A tap restart will take place after a 40/20
  • Five points for a try scored in the bonus zone under the posts, with two point drop kick conversion attempts.
  • The scoring team will have a drop kick off to restart play.
  • Five minute sin bins.
  • Five tackles in a set.
