Experimental Law Variations

Two new trial variations were included for the 2019 NRC.

• A 50:22 kick, whereby a team kicking the ball indirectly into touch (i.e. not on the full) is awarded the resulting lineout throw if the ball is kicked: (a) from within the team's own half and finds touch in the opposition's 22; or (b) from within the team's own 22 and finds touch in the opposition's half.
• A goal line drop-out, awarded to the defending team if an attacking player brings the ball into the in-goal and is held up.

Existing Law of the Game	Variation
Television Match Official / Global law trial: Law 5Шаблон:Ordered listШаблон:Ordered listШаблон:Ordered list	Television match official to only be consulted about tries and in-goal plays.
Conversion: Law 8Шаблон:Ordered list Sanction: Kick is disallowed.	Time limit reduced to 60 seconds for conversion kicks.
Penalty goal: Law 8Шаблон:Ordered list Sanction: Kick is disallowed and a scrum is awarded.	Time limit reduced to 45 seconds for penalty kicks.
During a maul: Law 16Шаблон:Ordered listШаблон:Ordered list Sanction: Penalty.	Greater policing of this law, in order to discourage "hold up tackles", by ensuring that the tackler, who holds up a ball carrier in an effort to form a maul, does not collapse the maul as soon as it has formed.
Quick throw: Law 18Шаблон:Ordered listШаблон:Ordered list	Players will be allowed to take quick throw-ins regardless of whether someone else has touched the ball
Lineout: Law 18Шаблон:Ordered list	For a 50:22 kick, where the team in possession kicks the ball indirectly into touch from either: (a) within their own half to find touch in the opposition's 22; or (b) from within their own 22 to find touch in the opposition's half; then the throw in to the resulting lineout is awarded to the kicking team at the location where the ball reached the touchline.
Location of a penalty or free kick: Law 20Шаблон:Ordered list	Increased latitude will be given to where penalty and free kicks are to be taken
Ball held up in-goal: Law 21Шаблон:Ordered list	Play restarts with a goal-line drop out awarded to the defending team. Rationale: To reward good defence and promote a faster rate of play.
Competition rule - Bonus point awarded for scoring 4 tries	Bonus point awarded if a winning team scores at least 3 more tries than its opponent. This particular system was first used in the French professional leagues during the 2007–08 northern hemisphere season.

Regular season

The eight teams competed in a round-robin tournament for the regular season. During this section of the competition, teams also played for the Horan-Little Shield, a challenge trophy put on the line when a challenge is accepted by the holders or mandated by the terms of the competition.

The regular season standings were determined via a slightly modified version of the standard competition points system— the same system as was used for The Rugby Championship and Super Rugby—with a bonus point awarded to a winning team scoring at least 3 more tries than their opponent; and a bonus point awarded to a losing team defeated by a margin of 7 points or under. Four points were awarded for a win and none for a loss; two points were awarded to each team for a draw.

Each team's placement was based on its cumulative points total, including any bonus points earned. For teams level on table points, tiebreakers apply in the following order:

1. Difference between points for and against during the season.
2. Head-to-head match result(s) between the tied teams.
3. Total number tries scored during the season.

The top four teams at the end of the regular season qualified for the title play-offs in the form of semi-finals followed by a final to determine the champion team.

NRC Division 2

The NRC II tournament was hosted by Rugby Union South Australia on 26–29 September in Adelaide as a competition for member unions and regions in Rugby Australia without a pathway to professional rugby via the main National Rugby Championship. The tournament was a reprisal of sorts of the Australian Rugby Shield which had been disbanded ten years earlier, and most of the representative teams which had featured in the Shield were invited to participate in NRC Division 2 in 2019. The eight teams scheduled to play in the tournament were: Шаблон:Columns-list
