Queensland Rugby League South East Queensland Division

The Queensland Rugby League South East Division (also known as the South East Division) is a rugby league division responsible for the running of rugby league in South-East Queensland. This makes the South East Division responsible for the FOGS Cup, FOGS Colts Challenge and Brisbane Second Division competitions. This Division also administers the City team in the annual QRL City-Country match. It is also responsible for administering the game of rugby league across the Gold Coast and Ipswich. These two cities alone comprise over 7000 junior and senior players.

In 2007 the East Division merged with the Southern Division to form the South East Queensland Division, decreasing the number of QRL divisions from 6 to 5. [1]

Its boundaries stretch from Burpengary in the North, to Beenleigh in the South and the Ipswich City/Brisbane boundary in the West. There's even a junior club on North Stradbroke Island.

Within this region are 45 affiliated junior rugby league clubs which had a combined Season 2006 total of 11,455 registered junior players within the Under 7 to Under 18 age groups. This equated to 676 teams in the overall competition for which an average of 320 fixture matches were played each weekend during the season across Brisbane. Each weekend an estimated 30,000 spectators attended those matches.
