The St George Dragons are an Australian Rugby league football club in St George, Sydney, New South Wales playing in the then-top-level New South Wales competition from 1921 until 1998 when, in 1999, they formed a joint venture with the Illawarra Steelers, creating the St George Illawarra Dragons team which competes in the National Rugby League. As a stand-alone club, they field teams in the NSWRL underage competitions, Harold Matthews Cup and S.G. Ball.
Entering the New South Wales Rugby Football League in 1921, the St George club won 15 premierships, including 11 in succession between 1956 and 1966, a record for sporting competitions at the time. The Dragons thus became second to only the South Sydney Rabbitohs in terms of total premierships won in the NSW Rugby Football League. Following the Super League war and formation of the NRL, the club formed a joint venture with the Illawarra Steelers in 1998, to become the St George Illawarra Dragons.
