NPC 2025 Winner Betting Odds - Can Wellington defend their NPC title in 2025?

In 2024, Wellington managed to outlast all others as they notched the title in stunning style with a pulsating win over Bay of Plenty in the grand final. This season, Wellington are among the favourites, but the reigning champions are not clear at the head of the betting.

2024's edition of the NPC did not disappoint, with massive hits, stunning tries and moments of individual brilliance helping to underline the competition as one of the most exciting and unpredictable in the game of rugby. 

In 2024, Wellington topped the standings before then going on and securing the bragging rights as they defeated Bay of Plenty 23-20 after extra time in a final for the ages. 

Wellington arrive for the new season as the reigning champions and joint-favourites alongside Tasman. The pair are just ahead of Canterbury in the betting, with the Bay of Plenty the only team available below 10.00. 

Last year, four teams finished on 38 points or more, with the top of the standings incredibly tight. This term, we are expecting an equally tight battle at the summit, with the playoffs then giving each side one life in their attempts to be the last team standing. 

While Wellington were able to go across the playoffs perfectly, they are not completely clear at the summit of the betting. A strong start will likely see their odds shorten further, but with the target winning the title has placed on their back, winning the title in 2025 will not be easy. 

Which side do you think will win the NPC in 2025? Can Wellington defend their title, or will another side secure the trophy this year?
