The 1982 Brisbane Rugby League premiership was the 74th season of Brisbane's professional rugby league football competition. Eight teams from across Brisbane competed for the premiership, which culminated in a grand final match between the Wynnum-Manly and Southern Suburbs clubs.

Season summary

[edit]

Unlike prior seasons, the 1982 Brisbane Rugby League season only consisted of 14 rounds due to the introduction of the Winfield State League, which ran from March 19 - May 2 and was not considered a part of the BRL premiership. Teams played each other twice, resulting in a top four of Southern Suburbs, Fortitude Valley, Wynnum-Manly and Redcliffe.
