With constant rainfall in Armidale and other areas in the region the Group falls into, ACM understands the Group made a decision on Friday morning "after working through all the options."
The decision to cancel means the games will not be played at a later date.
Citing NSW Rugby League's wet weather and wash out policy, Group 19 secretary Bronwyn Marks released a statement in their Facebook group.
"After much talk with the Board members and NSWRL. Looking at the weather forecast and what rain we have had [sic]," she said.
"Most councils have closed their fields.
"We have had to cancel the last round of the comp [sic].
"As per NSWRL procedures around wash out games This round will not be played and NO points will be allocated."
ACM understands this is only for the senior competition and junior clubs have not been affected.
Clubs have already contacted ACM expressing their disdain at the news. More to come.
