They were one of 14 clubs that played in the twentieth season of Queensland's top rugby league competition, QRL's Intrust Super Cup, with each team playing 11 home games and 12 away games over 25 weeks between March and August. This season the competition expanded to 14 teams with the inclusion of the Townsville Blackhawks.https://www.qrl.com.au/news/2014/09/10/qrl-announces-townsvilles-entry/ QRL announces Townsville's entry 10 September 2014 The Blackhawks became the third feeder club to the North Queensland Cowboys, sharing the Cowboy's player allocation with the Pride and Mackay Cutters. The Pride appointed a new coach after Jason Demetriou moved to the Cowboys. Demetriou had signed a two-year extension with the Pride, making him one of the highest paid coaches in the Intrust Cup, but he decided to take the role in Townsville working with David Furner and John Cartwright as assistant coaches under Paul Green. Pride assistant coach Joe O'Callaghan was promoted to head coach.http://www.northernpride.com.au/ocallaghan-confirmed-as-new-northern-pride-head-coach/ O'Callaghan confirmed as new coach 4 November 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141105015803/http://www.northernpride.com.au/ocallaghan-confirmed-as-new-northern-pride-head-coach/ 5 November 2014 dead O'Callaghan had been coach to numerous Academy sides, including the U-20s Central Comets (2007–2008), U-20s Tweed Heads Seagulls (2009), and U-20s Easts Tigers (2012), and had been the Pride's assistant coach for two seasons.O'Neill Rhys 20 October 2014 Steady as we Joe Cairns Post Cairns Former Pride player Rod Jensen was appointed Chief Executive, replacing Brock Schaefer who left to take up a senior administrative role at NRL premiers South Sydney.http://www.cairnspost.com.au/sport/northern-pride-have-appointed-rod-jensen-as-their-new-ceo/story-fnjpuwrj-1227202137487 Northern Pride have appointed Rod Jensen as their new CEO 'Rocket' Rod had previously played wg and ce for the Adelaide Rams, Canberra Raiders and North Queensland Cowboys in the NRL Telstra Premiership, and for the Huddersfield Giants in the English Super League. He joined the Pride in their second season in 2009, and although he retired at the end of the year, he changed his mind and rejoined the club again halfway through the 2010 season, scoring a try in the 2010 Grand Final. Jensen played for the Pride for two more season, before moving to the CDRL Mareeba Gladiators.http://www.qrl.com.au/default.aspx?s=qldcup-clubs-northern Northern Pride QRL 2010 15 March 2010 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110218231219/http://www.qrl.com.au/default.aspx?s=qldcup-clubs-northern 18 February 2011 The Pride defended their 2014 premiership under new coach Joe O'Callaghan. The team suffered substantial player losses as a result of their successful 2014 season with four players contracted to the NRL Telstra Premiership, two of the North Queensland Cowboys allocated players moving to the Townsville Blackhawks, and Joel Riethmuller retiring. The club arranged some high-profile trial matches, beating newcomers Townsville Blackhawks, before travelling to Sydney to meet the 2014 NRL Telstra Premiers, South Sydney in the Return to Redfern annual match.Rugari Vince 29 October 2014 Pride in Redfern rumble Cairns Post Cairns Although the Rabbitohs rested some of their star players, the Pride held them to a 20-all draw. The following week the Rabbitohs travelled to England for the World Club Challenge where they beat Super League premiers St Helens R.F.C. 39-0. The Pride returned home to play against QCup heavyweights PNG Hunters. This trail was arranged at the last minute and was something of a consolation for the Pride, who were not scheduled to play the Hunters at home this season. Last year's home game against the Hunters attracted a record crowd, earning the club around $50,000 in gate receipts and sponsorship.O'Neill Rhys 30 December 2014 Draw knocks Pride out of hunt for $50k boost Cairns Post Cairns In the regular season the Pride got off to a poor start, losing the first four rounds. Round 1 was a grand final rematch against Easts Tigers, with the Tigers coming out victorious this time. Round 2 was cancelled due to Cyclone Nathan. Round 3 was against newcomers, the Blackhawks, who the Pride had beaten in a pre-season trial. The Blackhawks came to Cairns with three Cowboys players who had played for the Pride last year, and Dan Beasley, who had signed to play for the Pride, then reneged and showed up as the Blackhawks captain. The Blackhawks won 52-10, the Pride's biggest ever home loss and third biggest defeat of all time. The Pride went on to win 14 games, climbing into the top eight by Round 9. They finished in sixth place, but were eliminated in the first week of the finals, losing 26–54 to the Ipswich Jets, who would go on to win the Grand Final against the new Townsville side. 2015 Season - Sea Swift Northern Pride 2015 Queensland Cup Competition: Intrust Super Cup Sponsor: Sea Swift Staff Coaches/Trainers Coach: Joe O'Callaghan.

The match was adjudicated by a CDRL referee and was played over four-quarters. New coach Joe O'Callaghan got an idea of how his squad will handle the ISC Cup heat. Veteran prop Alex Starmer was given 60 minutes in a promising sign his recovery from last year's hamstring tear. Jared Verney (rolled ankle) and Graham Clark (knee) were the only players to suffer slight injuries. Jordan Biondi-Odo's excellent form makes for an interesting selection conundrum, with experienced five-eight Ben Jeffries suddenly facing a renewed push for the fe role in Round 1. "This is Jordan's third preseason with us and he's been going very well", O'Callaghan said. "He knows there is a really good opportunity in the halves now with us not getting any Cowboys allocations for those positions. #d6d6d6 Pre-season Trial 1Saturday7 February 2015 18:00 AEST (UTC+10) Northern Pride Northern Pride 16 Townsville Blackhawks 16 Townsville Blackhawks 3814 Pride PreviewPride ReportCairns Post ReportBlackhawks Report Tries:Sam Pau 1Ben Jeffries 1Keelan White 1Denzel King 1Menmuny Murgha 1Dean McGilvray 1Eddie Daniel 1Goals:Jordan Biondi-Odo (5 from 6) 5Ben Jeffries (0 from 1) 0 Tries:1 Tyler Smith1 Jack Kelleher1 Mitchell SeriGoals:1 Mitchell Seri (1 from 2)0 Rhyse Matsen (0 from 1) Stan Williams Park(Behan St, Manunda, Cairns, QLD) Michael Gordon Peter MacKinnon, Evan Bayliss Sea Swift Northern Pride: 1.

One match a week is shown live across Queensland at 2.00pm (AEST) on Sunday afternoons on Channel 9 (or GEM), on WIN Television (RTQ) in regional areas and on Imparja Television in remote areas. The match is also broadcast in Papua New Guinea on Kundu 2 TV. The 2015 commentary team was Peter Psaltis, Scott Sattler and Mathew Thompson. In 2015 the Pride appeared in three televised games: Round 1: Northern Pride lost to Easts Tigers 20-12 at Tap Out Energy Stadium, Stones Corner, Brisbane. This match was shown on the Nine Network's GEM channel because the ICC World Cup Cricket match between Australia and Sri Lanka was on Channel Nine. Round 8: Northern Pride beat Souths Logan Magpies 36-18 (Played at 12.30 pm, telecast delayed to 1.30 pm) from Barlow Park, Cairns. This Round was originally scheduled as the Wynnum Manly Seagulls v Norths Devils game. First Elimination Semi-final: Northern Pride lost to Ipswich Jets 54-26 at North Ipswich Reserve, Ipswich. The Round 3 match against the Townsville Blackhawks from Barlow Park, Cairns was scheduled to be broadcast, but Channel Nine was concerned about the impacts of Cyclone Nathan and so the match between Tweed Heads Seagulls and Norths Devils was shown instead.
