Cronulla Sharks Leagues Club

Cronulla Sharks is an Australian rugby league football club that compete in the National Rugby League. The team was formed in 2003 as an amalgamation of the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks club and the Balmain Tigers club from New South Wales state league competition. They were admitted to the NRL at the end of 2003 season after being one of only two foundation clubs not to have suspended operations during that year’s competition.

The sharks were founded in 1967.

The Cronulla Sharks are one of the oldest rugby league teams in Australia. The club was founded on 28 October 1967 as part of a push for Australian clubs to compete in the fledgling European market, especially after the 1965 establishment by ‘Team Australia’ of a North Atlantic touring team. The club changed their name from St George-Illawarra in 1979 after two seasons of almost exclusively Anglo-Saxon and Irish players; however, it was not until 1989, following an ill-fated finals appearance at the end of 1987, that they again became known as the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks.

They have won the comp twice.

Cronulla Sharks have won the comp twice. First time in 1995 and second time in 2000 with their first premiership win since 2006. They won both comps on the second last weekend of the season, beating Canberra Raiders to win 21-6 at home, while also defeating Parramatta Eels home 30-22. They were able to celebrate this achievement by having NRL finals tickets handed out after the game.

The teams first home game was in 1967 against St George at Endeavour Field.

The Cronulla Sharks at the age of 26 were beginning to dominate in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership and were in no hurry to change for a change. The club had won their first five games and remained unbeaten in their first season, becoming known as “The Mighty Mash” through their deadly attack. To this day there are three players who have played over 100 games for Cronulla: Noel Kelly, Myles Anderson and Paul Gallen.
