Redcliffe Dolphins

Common card · No. 355408

Redcliffe Dolphins are a rugby league club based in Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1947, they were accepted into the Brisbane Rugby League (BRL) premiership competition in 1960, and since 1996 have played in the Queensland Cup. The BRL reached its competitive and attendance peak in the 1980s and then began to decline in favour of an expanded NSWRFL Winfield Cup competition. In 1988, the Brisbane Broncos, featuring many BRL players, began competing in the NSWRL, overshadowing the BRL. A new Queensland Cup competition began in 1996, in which the Redcliffe Dolphins were inaugural runners-up. In 1997, the Dolphins won both the final BRL competition and the Queensland Cup. Since 2023, a separately licensed team, simply called the Dolphins, has competed in the National Rugby League. The NRL team shares ownership, players and facilities with the Queensland Cup side, but with differing colours, names and logos. The name "Redcliffe Dolphins" is reserved for the Queensland Cup side...
