The 2025 NRL Women's Premiership comprised 12 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 2024 NRLW season or 2024 Pacific Championships. Similarly, a club could seek approval to replace a player injured in pre-season training or a trial match.
The 12 clubs in total used 299 players. Each club used between 21 and 28 players. The number of players making their NRLW debut in the 2025 season was 82. By club this ranged from two (North Queensland Cowboys and Sydney Roosters) to seventeen (New Zealand Warriors) debutants.
During the season, 530 tries were scored by 181 individual players. So, 60.54% of players scored at least one try. A tally of 344 goals were kicked by 20 players, with six of the twelve teams having a single successful goalkicker. Four field-goals were kicked during the season, the first by Zahara Temara for Canberra Raiders in golden point to win their Round 9 match against Wests Tigers, 17–16. The second came the next day, kicked by Chantay Kiria-Ratu for Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in golden point to win their Round 9 match against Newcastle Knights, 19–18. The third was kicked by Lauren Brown for Gold Coast Titans in golden point to win their Round 11 match against Canberra Raiders, 17–16. The fourth and last field-goal of the season was kicked by Jocelyn Kelleher for Sydney Roosters in their preliminary final, 17–16 win over Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks.
