New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union

Sub-Union History

The New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union, as it is known today, was officially founded in 1933 as the “Metropolitan S.D.R.U.” and became affiliated with the New South Wales Rugby Union. Since then, the competition has grown to become what is believed to be the largest centrally organized rugby union competition in the world, with over 6,000 players and 55 clubs. Today, the Subbies competition continues to thrive, providing a home for clubs that are not part of the premier Shute Shield competition, and acting as a vital part of the rugby landscape in Sydney. The competition has produced many premierships, and individual clubs, like Hunters Hill, have a history of winning multiple cups and club championships
