Gerard Sutton and Ben Cummins have been appointed as the referees for Sunday's NRL grand final.

The premiership decider between North Queensland and Brisbane will be the second grand final lead referee Sutton will officiate, while it will be Cummins' third time as a whistleblower in the final match of the NRL season.

The duo refereed all three State of Origin fixtures earlier this season.

Referees boss Tony Archer said Sutton and Cummins have been "the standout match officials through the season".

"The best officials will referee the grand final," Archer said.
