Grenfell will stage this year's deciders, with the Cup competition again running first grade, youth league and league tag competitions that will culminate on September 12.
Henry Parkes Oval was locked in as the location following Woodbridge Cup committee meething this week. It'll be Grenfell's first grand final since 2014.
Cup boss Andrew Pull said hosting rights for the grand final are shared around the competing clubs and an early decision is always made to ensure the winning bid has enough time to get their grounds up to scratch.
Pull, though, said there would be no drama at Grenfell.
"They've got great facilities out there; they recently had new sheds and change rooms put in, last year, it's a great spot," Pull said.
"And club-wise, it's a good chance for them to build up some fundraising and build back up for next year.
"But generally we give the club hosting a grand final as much time as possible, because it'd put a bit of pressure on clubs to get their grounds ready with fencing and what not if it was just a week's notice."

He said the rest of the Woodbridge Cup finals series will adopt a Group 9 style format.
Teams two and four will host the qualifying and elimination finals respectively, but then won't host another semi-final thereafter, regardless of results.
The other hosting rights come weeks two and three will be shared around the other clubs competing in the finals.
The Woodbridge Cup finals series will begin on Saturday, August 21.
The competition will resume this weekend with round 16 following last week's cancelled games due to the stay-at-home orders in force across Cabonne. Five clubs - Molong, Manildra, Canowindra, Cargo and Eugowra - are within that Local Government Area.
