The North Queensland Cowboys home stadium sponsor Stockland finished up their sponsorship contract seeing out their three year deal.

A new sponsorship deal was drawn up by the Cowboys, with local milking organisation Dairy Farmers who owned the local North Queensland milking dairy in the Tablelands. It was rebadged into the newly named 'Dairy Farmers Stadium' for year 1998.

It was also the start of the National Rugby League competition. Super League (Australia) ended its 1 year competition and the Australian Rugby League also ended theirs to merge together to become one. But for some clubs it came at a cost.

For the Hunter Mariners and Western Reds from Super League (Australia) and the South Queensland Crushers from the Australian Rugby League these franchises were over. But it was the birth of a new franchise and a first in rugby league history. A team in the state of Victoria going by the name Melbourne Storm.

The 20 teams competing in season 98 were:

Adelaide Rams,

Auckland Warriors,

Balmain Tigers,

Brisbane Broncos,

Canberra Raiders,

Canterbury Bulldogs,

Cronulla Sharks,
