The 2024 NRL Women's Premiership comprised 10 competing teams. Starting squad size was 24 players on contract with a further 4 players on development contracts. Squad size could grow above these initial limits subject to the approval of the administrative body, the National Rugby League, to cover contracted players who sustained season-ending injuries.
Approval for replacements into the squad could be sought for injured players who were on multi-year contracts, including for injuries carried over from the 2023 NRLW season or 2023 Pacific Championships. Similarly, a club could seek approval to replace a player injured in pre-season training or a trial match.
The 10 clubs in total used 239 players. Each club used between 22 and 26 players. The number of players making their NRLW debut in the 2024 season was 49. By club this ranged from two (North Queensland Cowboys) to nine (Wests Tigers) debutants.
During the season, 358 tries were scored by 139 individual players. So, 58.16% of players scored at least one try. A tally of 232 goals were kicked by 17 players, with five of the ten teams having a single successful goalkicker. Two field-goals were kicked during the season, the first by Kirra Dibb for North Queensland Cowboys in their Round 4, 11–10 win over the Gold Coast Titans, and the second by Tarryn Aiken for Sydney Roosters in their semi-final, 25–16 win over Newcastle Knights.
