The Ron Coote Cup is a rugby league series of two matches contested annually in the National Rugby League between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Sydney Roosters. The Ron Coote Cup was introduced in 2007 in the name of Ron Coote who played with distinction for both clubs.

The Ron Coote Cup celebrates the career of Ron Coote AM, who won six premierships and played in nine Grand Finals during his 15 seasons.

"There have been 11 matches in the Ron Coote Cup since its beginning, with the Roosters winning seven times and the Rabbitohs winning four. The Rabbitohs last held the Ron Coote Cup in 2016, defeating the Roosters 52 to 27 over both legs. The Cardinal and Myrtle are determined to replicate those performances in 2018 and bring the silverware back to Redfern."

"Mr Coote won six premierships and played in nine Grand Finals during his 15 seasons playing first grade with both South Sydney (four premierships) and Eastern Suburbs (two premierships). The Ron Coote Cup is played across both home and away fixtures in any given season, with the winner determined by the aggregate score from those two regular season matches. 2026 will be the 20th time the clubs have contested the Ron Coote Cup."
