But none of the five Campbelltown-based clubs will field a team in A grade.
The competition, which starts on Sunday, starts on April 15 and is generating much interest within the rugby league communities of Canterbury, Balmain, St George, Eastern Suburbs, South Sydney and Western Suburbs. The competition involves 49 teams competing in A grade, two reserve grade divisions and two under-19 divisions.
All Saints, Campbelltown Collegians, Campbelltown Warriors, Eagle Vale St Andrews, Ingleburn RSL, Liverpool Catholic Club, Liverpool Titans, Minto Cobras and Valley United will host games throughout Liverpool and Campbelltown during the season.
According to the draw on the Inter City Combined Competition website, the Campbelltown-based clubs' top teams will compete in the following comps:
Eagle Vale St Andrews will play in reserve grade division 1.
Campbelltown Warriors, Minto Cobras and Ingleburn RSL will field teams in reserve grade division 2.
Collegians will field a team in under-19 division 1.

WESTERN Suburbs District Junior Rugby League has again had to look beyond home territory for a stronger competition for its senior players.
The league announced last Wednesday that nine of its affiliated clubs would compete in the NSW Inter City Combined Competition in 2012.
The competition kicks off on Sunday, incorporating 49 teams competing across A grade, two reserve-grade divisions and two under-19 divisions.
Wests clubs opting to field senior teams in the competition include Campbelltown Collegians, Campbelltown Warriors, Eagle Vale St Andrews, Ingleburn RSL, Minto Cobras, Liverpool Titans, Liverpool Catholic Club, All Saints and Valley United.
The move follows the aborted combined competition with neighbouring Group 6, which lasted two seasons before the organisations went their separate ways again in 2011.
WSDJRL deputy chairman Mark Lake said Wests juniors had joined the inter city competition to benefit from competing against a wide variety of teams.
“It also gives them an opportunity to play against other teams from other districts within the Sydney metropolitan region, that they have never played against before,” Lake said.
He said all the teams were excited about the competition and were looking forward to a successful season.
NSW Rugby League has endorsed the Wests clubs to compete in the Inter City Combined Competition.
The competition includes teams from Balmain, Canterbury, Eastern Suburbs, South Sydney and St George.
