The 2014 Penrith Panthers season was the 48th in the club's history. Coached by Ivan Cleary and co-captained by Kevin Kingston and Peter Wallace,[1] the team competed in the National Rugby League's 2014 Telstra Premiership. The Panthers competed in the pre-season's 2014 NRL Auckland Nines. They then completed the 26-round regular season 4th place (out of 16), reaching the finals for the first time since 2010. Penrith went on to come within one match of the grand final but were knocked out by the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
