Group 18 is the name of a rugby league competition on the far north coast of New South Wales, Australia. Currently, the group has no senior competition. Prior to 2005, there was a joint Gold Coast-Group 18 competition which fielded teams from both the Queensland and New South Wales sides of the border. With the Burleigh Bears joining the Queensland Cup in 1997 and the Tweed Heads Seagulls joining them in 2003, the combined competition started to lose some of its lustre. In 2005, it was dissolved with the remaining Queensland teams forming a dedicated Gold Coast competition and the NSW teams joining an expanded Group 1 competition, now named Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League. Both Group 1 and Group 18 run junior competitions.
The Junior Rugby League fields the following teams:
- Bilambil Jets
- Cudgen Hornets
- Murwillumbah Colts
- The Mullumbimby Giants
- South Tweed Heads Koalas
- South Tweed Heads Bears
- South Tweed Heads Panthers
- South Tweed Heads Ospreys
- Tugun Seahawks
- Tweed Coast/Cabarita Raiders
- Tweed Heads Seagulls
- Byron Bay-Lennox Head Red Devil Dolpins (combined team of the former Byron Bay Red Devils and the Lennox Head Dolphins
