The S.G. Ball Cup is a junior rugby league competition played in New South Wales, played between teams made up of players aged under 18. The competition is administered by the New South Wales Rugby League. The competition, which in 2008 will be made up of 14 NSW-based clubs and one Queensland based team, includes both junior representative teams of NRL and NSW Cup clubs that do not field a team in the NRL competition.

The S.G. Ball Cup is so named for S.G. (George) Ball, one of the five people responsible for the formation of South Sydney and was club secretary for over fifty years.
