Southern Districts Rugby Club is committed to developing quality rugby at all levels, supported by strong facilities, clear pathways and a values-led culture.

Based at Forshaw Park in Sylvania Waters, the club operates from its own dedicated grounds and licensed clubhouse, providing a stable base for competition, community engagement and partner activation.

We actively support our sponsors, embrace our community and look to create meaningful connections between our partners and decision makers across industries, as well as with a highly engaged rugby audience across Southern Sydney, New South Wales and Australia.

Our History and Performance.
