Raiders

The Canberra Raiders were established in 1982, becoming the first club from outside Sydney to join the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition. 

The Raiders have secured Premierships in the following years:

• 1989
• 1990
• 1994

Their most recent Premiership victory was in 1994, where they defeated the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 36–12.

Founded in 1982, the Canberra Raiders were the first team from outside Sydney to join the NSWRL competition. The club quickly rose to prominence, reaching their first Grand Final in 1987. They secured their inaugural Premiership in 1989, followed by consecutive titles in 1990 and another in 1994. The Raiders have been known for their distinctive lime green jerseys and have developed a strong fan base in the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regions. 

The Raiders' home ground is Canberra Stadium, also known as GIO Stadium, located in Bruce, Australian Capital Territory. 

Canberra Stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 25,000 spectators.

You can purchase official Canberra Raiders merchandise at Peter Wynn's Score, both online and in-store. They offer a wide range of products, including jerseys, training gear, and accessories.

The team's mascot, "Victor the Viking," embodies the club's association with Viking imagery, symbolising strength and resilience. The lime green colour was chosen to distinguish the Raiders from other teams, while the blue and gold accents represent the traditional sporting colours of the Australian Capital Territory. 

• The Raiders were the first non-Sydney team to win the NSWRL Premiership, achieving this feat in 1989.
  
  
• Club legend Mal Meninga captained the team to all three of their Premiership victories and returned to the club in 2024 in a significant off-field role to help end their 30-year Premiership drought.
  
  
• The club is known for its passionate fan base and the "Viking Clap," a pre-game ritual that energises both players and supporters.
