Club Info

History

Shellharbour City RLFC has a 113 year history[citation needed], originally existing as a rugby union club, before switching to rugby league in 1920.

The club have won five first-grade premierships in total, the last of which was in 2001, as well as over 30 reserve, third, and under-18 premierships.

Shellharbour itself is located on the southernmost coastal border of the Illawarra.

Shellharbour City Marlins

In 2007, Shellharbour City struck a deal with NRL side the St. George Illawarra Dragons and thus created a new team and entered themselves into the NSWRL Jim Beam Cup with the name Shellharbour City Marlins using the colours as their parent club. It is rumoured that the name Marlins was chosen to differentiate themselves from any Cronulla Sharks sides. The Shellharbour Sharks still competed in Group 7 Rugby League competition during this time. During 2008, the Dragons leagues club however did not give the same backing to Sharks, instead the Sharks stayed alive through other sponsorship deals, most notably Corban KIA.[1] 2009 saw a change in direction again with both the Sharks side moving into the Illawarra Carlton League and the Marlins side moving into the NSW Cup.[2] This resulted in the Marlins changing their name to Shellharbour City Dragons and consequently changing their strip to the more famous Red-V.
