Season summary

The format of the Winfield Cup was changed for the 1986 season, with the pre-season games no longer awarding competition points. The first round of the regular season was played on March 30, after the pre-season but before the Winfield State League. Each club then played 4 games against another Brisbane side during the State League, followed by the remaining 13 games of the regular season. This resulted in each team playing 16 first-grade games over 18 rounds. The inclusion of the Ipswich Jets, the first team to join the BRL since Wynnum-Manly rejoined in 1951, meant each team was given two byes. The season resulted in a top four of Wynnum-Manly, Redcliffe, Past Brothers and Fortitude Valley.

Winfield State League
Main article: 1986 Winfield State League

The 1986 Winfield State League was the inaugural season of the Queensland Rugby League's statewide competition. A total of 14 teams competed in the season, 8 of which were BRL Premiership clubs. The remaining six were regional teams from across the state, hence the State League name. The Seagulls would pull off a massive victory in the semi-finals against Ipswich, before defeating Redcliffe by a large margin in the Grand Final to win their third consecutive Winfield State League title.
