Gordon Rugby Club

The original Gordon Rugby Football Club was founded in 1927 on Sydney’s North Shore, playing in the Metropolitan Junior competitions with Roseville Chase Oval as its home ground. In 1936 the Gordon District Rugby Union Football Club came into being and was admitted to the Grade Competition fielding four grade and two junior sides. By 1939, the 1st XV had won the Minor Premiership. Fourth grade won its first premiership in 1946 and three years later Gordon won the Club Championship after winning both the 1st and 4th grade Premierships. It was also in 1949 that the club adopted a new jersey incorporating the colours of the Gordon tartan and introduced the club song “A Gordon For Me”, emphasising the strong Scottish influence within the Club. Today the club is renowned for its dedication to the promotion of the game at all levels, its tremendous club spirit, its enthusiastic supporters, excellent administration and its links with the Community. It has produced 34 Australian representatives, won 42 Premierships including eight 1st Grade Premierships and has won 13 Club Championships.
