The rugby league Battle for Brisbane is the name for the series of matches between the professional rugby league clubs in Brisbane.
The original series was between the Brisbane Broncos and the South Queensland Crushers during the ARL competition in the mid-1990s; the Brisbane Broncos won both encounters.
In 2023, the new Dolphins franchise re-ignited the series, with the teams striking a new Battle Medal as the player of the match award, as decided by prominent rugby league commentators.
