# 2020 Queensland Cup

The 2020 Queensland Cup season was to be the 25th season of Queensland's top-level statewide rugby league competition run by the Queensland Rugby League. On 27 March, the competition, known as the Intrust Super Cup due to sponsorship from Intrust Super, was cancelled after one round due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the first time the competition would not be played out since its inaugural season in 1996.

## Teams

In 2020, the lineup of teams remained unchanged for the sixth consecutive year. On 13 December 2019, the Newcastle Knights formed a partnership with the Ipswich Jets but did not send players to the club. The cancelled 2020 season was the final year that the Brisbane Broncos and Redcliffe Dolphins were affiliated, having partnered since 2006. The Dolphins entered a partnership with the New Zealand Warriors for the 2021 season.
