The South Sydney Rabbitohs are the most successful club in the history of Australian rugby league. Founded in 1908 as one of the code's original nine clubs, Souths have built a legacy of premierships, passionate supporters and unforgettable comebacks that few teams in any sport can match.
Whether you've collected a signed jersey, own a match-day guernsey, or simply want to celebrate your love for the red and green, displaying your Rabbitohs jersey is one of the best ways to honour the club's remarkable history.
The History of the South Sydney Rabbitohs
The South Sydney District Rugby League Football Club was formed at a public meeting at Redfern Town Hall on 17 January 1908, making it one of the founding clubs of the New South Wales Rugby League. Souths played the first match in the competition's history that Easter, and went on to win the inaugural premiership, defeating Eastern Suburbs 14–12 in the Grand Final — a feat no other club has matched since.
Nicknamed the Rabbitohs, the club's colours of cardinal red and myrtle green date back to its rugby union days, and the nickname itself comes from local players who sold rabbits door-to-door on Saturday mornings, calling out "Rabbitoh!" through the streets of Redfern. The club enjoyed golden eras in the 1920s (seven premierships in eight years), the 1950s under the legendary Clive Churchill, and the late 1960s and early 1970s under captain John Sattler — who famously played, and won, the entire 1970 Grand Final with a broken jaw.
Financial hardship saw the club excluded from the competition in 2000, sparking the famous "Save Our Souths" campaign, when more than 80,000 fans marched through Sydney's CBD in protest. The club returned to the competition soon after, and in 2014 broke a 43-year premiership drought, defeating Canterbury-Bankstown 30–6 — with English forward Sam Burgess famously playing the entire match on a fractured cheekbone, echoing Sattler's heroics 44 years earlier.

The Modern Era
After decades of near-misses, financial turmoil and a fight for the club's very survival, South Sydney's 2014 premiership remains one of the most celebrated moments in NRL history. Sam Burgess claimed the Clive Churchill Medal as the first non-Australian to do so, playing the full match with a fractured cheekbone — a piece of Rabbitohs folklore that stands alongside John Sattler's own broken-jaw heroics from 1970. Today the club is co-owned by actor Russell Crowe, and continues to chase a 22nd premiership with one of the competition's most loyal supporter bases behind it.
