Which club has won the most NRL premierships?

The story behind the answer

South Sydney Rabbitohs have won the most NRL premierships, with 21 top-flight titles. Their championships include victories in the New South Wales Rugby League era and the modern national competition.

South Sydney won its first premiership in 1908, the inaugural season of the New South Wales competition. The club then dominated the early decades, particularly during the 1920s and 1950s. Its most recent premiership came in 2014, when the Rabbitohs defeated the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 30–6.

The Rabbitohs were excluded from the top competition after the 1999 season but returned in 2002 following a legal and public campaign. Their long history is why the club is often described as one of rugby league’s foundational institutions. The Sydney Roosters are another historically successful club, but South Sydney leads the premiership tally.
