The closing date for entries to the competition is Friday, 4th April.
Northern ran a similar competition last year for amateur rugby league clubs, with the prizes including training equipment, match kit, and Betfred Super League tickets worth a total of £10,000.
In 2023, Northern donated new kit and equipment to grassroots rugby teams in Cheshire, East Yorkshire, Merseyside and West Yorkshire to help improve training provision for young players.
“Connecting with our communities is so important to us at Northern. We’re proud to support local rugby clubs in right across our network and this is a great opportunity for six of them to get kitted out like a Super League team.”
