The 2024 NRL Pre-season Challenge was played from 15 to 25 February 2024, before a 7-day lead up until the beginning of the 2024 NRL season.
Background
As the 2024 World Club Challenge was hosted in the United Kingdom, Penrith Panthers did not participate in the Pre-season Challenge as they were in Wigan at the time.
Standings
The winner of the Pre-season Challenge received $100,000 AUD. Only matches in the second and third week of the pre-season counted towards the standings, excluding the All Stars match. Twelve competition points are awarded for a win and six for a draw. One bonus competition point is awarded for each of the following: 5 or more tries, 5 or more line breaks, and 10 or more offloads.
