- La Winfield Cup était un trophée australien de rugby à XIII qui récompensé le vainqueur de la finale du championnat de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud de 1982 à 1994, et le vainqueur de la finale de l'Australian Rugby League en 1995. En dépit de son nom, il s'agit d'un trophée et non d'une coupe. Le trophée a été abandonné à la suite de l'interdiction par le gouvernement australien de la publicité pour le tabac dans le sport. Winfield n'est pas la première marque de cigarettes à sponsoriser le championnat de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, de 1960 à 1981, la compétition de pré-saison était sponsorisée par W. D. & H. O. Wills.

- The Winfield Cup was an Australian rugby league trophy awarded to the winner of the New South Wales Rugby League premiership (NSWRL) Grand Final from 1982 to 1994, and then to the winner of the newly-founded Australian Rugby League (ARL) Grand Final in 1995. Despite its name, the trophy was retired after the 1995 ARL season when cigarette manufacturer Winfield was forced to withdraw their sponsorship, following the Australian Federal Government's introduction of the Tobacco Advertising Prohibition Act 1992 which outlawed tobacco advertising in sports in Australia. Winfield were not the first tobacco company to sponsor the NSWRL Premiership, however; from 1960 to 1981 the pre-season competition was sponsored by W. D. & H. O. Wills. A redesigned ARL premiership trophy, the Optus Cup, was introduced in 1996 and lasted until 1997 before the ARL and Super League merged to form the National Rugby League (NRL) in 1998. (en)
