Since 1998 member teams of the domestic competition have competed in a Grand Final for the league championship. The winning team receives the "Ferrainola Cup", named for American rugby league promoter Sam Ferrainola.[26] The AMNRL has not released the schedule for the 2011 season. Prior to the split, the AMNRL season consisted of an eight week, six game regular season followed by a playoffs series that culminated in the Grand Final. Teams advanced to the playoffs based on points differential. The playoff series consists of a three-round single-elimination tournament, with the Grand Final winners receiving the championship title.[27]
One of signature events in the AMNRL's domestic schedule has been the War at the Shore. The event, held annually in Sea Island, New Jersey, generally consists of full 13-a-side and rugby league sevens games between AMNRL teams, local and national representative sides, and developmental teams.[28][29]
