Sydney Northern Beaches regained the crown over cross-town rivals Sydney.
The Central Coast took out third place while a much-improved Far North Coast outfit pushed the Hunter all the way before they finished in fifth.
With a change in the way the interstate titles are run, only one Hunter athlete was selected for representative honours - Cooks Hill's Allira Richardson.
She was a standout at the event, taking out the open ironwoman and board races and showing signs she is on track to regain her form showed on the professional series.
She will now don the sky blue cap of NSW on January 23 to battle it out against the rest of the country at Newport Beach.
