The 1925 New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership was the eighteenth season of Sydney's top-level rugby league football club competition, Australia's first. Nine teams from across the city contested during the season, with South Sydney being crowned premiers by finishing on top of the League.^[1]

Season summary

For this season the St George Dragons had found a permanent homeground at Earl Park, Arncliffe.

The NSWRFL introduced reserve footballs, so that the game could continue even if the ball had been booted out of the stadium.

South Sydney won each of their twelve matches during the season, and remain the only club to achieve this in the history of the competition and just one of five clubs to go through a season undefeated. Souths made a clean sweep of all three grades.

It was the first of seven premierships South Sydney would win in eight years through to 1932. There were no finals played. By round 13 South Sydney was in such a dominant position (10 points ahead with five rounds to play) that the NSWRFL curtailed the competition and proceeded to the City Cup knockout tournament, which Souths also won.
