History


There has been a long history of Southport being represented in Rugby league dating back to the 1930s. They were then known as the Southport Wanderers.


In 1931, the Southport Wanderers were the A Grade undefeated Premiers winning the Plunket Cup in that year. The Southport Wanderers Football Club A Grade side were the South Coast League Premiers and winners of the Mathias Cup in 1939.


Southport also played local competition in the late forties and early fifties. The Southport Wanderers also had south coast representative teams in the Brisbane Rugby League Premiership competition.


In the late fifties the team was revived as the All Whites. The team was resurrected again in the sixties as the Gold Coast R.L.F.C. In 1966 they lost the grand final to Seagulls. In 1968 the Gold Coast Tigers won the grand final against the Seagulls and won the Caltex Cup the same year. Gold Coast Tigers beat Seagulls again in the grand final in 1972 and went on to win the grand final in 1976 and 1977.


In 1978 Gold Coast Tigers changed the name to the Southport Tigers to accommodate new Gold Coast clubs. Southport Tigers went on to win the grand final of the Gold Coast competition in 1980, 1981, 1986, 1987 and 1988.


Southport Tigers cater for rugby league for all ages and levels of rugby league from under-6 to the local A Grade and play in the Gold Coast Rugby League.
