The National Rugby League's Alex McKinnon Cup match is an annual game between the Newcastle Knights and St. George Illawarra Dragons played for on the first occasion the two sides meet in a season.[1] The trophy is named for former player Alex McKinnon, who suffered a career-ending injury during the 2014 NRL season, leaving him a quadriplegic.
McKinnon had played for both Newcastle and St. George Illawarra during his career, and the two clubs together instituted the trophy for the 2015 season.
