'''The Sydney UniUniversity Rugby League Football Club''' is a [[rugby league]] team currently playing in the [[Saturday Metro League]] competition. The [[University of Sydney]] was represented in the [[New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership]] from 1920–19371920 to 1937 as [['''University]]''', and also in the [[NSWRL]] '''Second Division''' and '''Metropolitan League''' competitions from 1963 to 1976.
 
==History==
The movement at the [[University of Sydney]] to be involved in the new game of [[rugby league]] began in 1919 with a number of players (including seven University Blues from the 1918 season) viewing a game of the new code and deciding to switch codes. As put by [[Herbert Vere Evatt]] (a final year law student and later a politician, jurist and Presidentpresident of the [[UN General Assembly]]) at the time the reasons were:
 
::"Owing to the general dissatisfaction with the management of the Rugby Union during the 1919 football season, and the fact that University footballers were starting to realise that rugby league was a faster and cleaner game, several leading members of the football club, including seven 'blues' of the past season, took steps to introduce the league game into the University for the 1920 season. A special meeting of league supporters was held and decided to enter three teams, all members to play as strict amateurs."{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}}
 
===Anti-rugby league prejudice===
From the very beginning, the Students (or 'Varsity' as they were also known) struggled to gain acceptance by the University Sports Association who displayed great prejudice toward those who had left the rugby union side to play [[rugby league]].{{citation needed|date=March 2024}}
 
Indeed, players who participated in [[rugby league]] matches were threatened with disqualification from ever playing rugby union at [[Oxford University]] or [[University of Cambridge]] and the Sports Association forbid the club from training on the University Oval (forcing Varsity to train with [[Sydney Roosters|Eastern Suburbs]] at the Sydney Sports Ground).{{citation needed|date=March 2024}} While public pressure forced the Association to relent, the club never once played a game at the University Oval during its involvement in the [[New South Wales Rugby League premiership]].{{citation needed|date=March 2024}}
 
===1926 Grand Final===
The highlight of the Students' 18 seasons in the NSWRL Premiership was their one and only finals appearance (having finished fourth in the [[New South Wales Rugby League season 1926|regular season]]). To get to the Grand Final at the [[Sydney Showground (Moore Park)|Sydney Agricultural Ground]] University had to defeat [[Glebe (rugby league team)|Glebe]] which they did comfortably 29 - 3.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article222719447|title=University Now in League Premiership Final|newspaper=[[The Sun (Sydney)]] |location=Sydney |date=5 Sep 1926 |access-date=20 Sep 2020 |page=8 |publisher=National Library of Australia|last= Corbett|first= Claude}}</ref> In the Grand Final, however, they were defeated 5–11 by [[South Sydney Rabbitohs|Souths]] in front of 20,000 people.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article222728134|title=South Sydney League Premiers For Sixth Time|newspaper=[[The Sun (Sydney)]] |location=Sydney |date=19 Sep 1926 |access-date=20 Sep 2020 |page=8 |publisher=National Library of Australia|last= Corbett|first= Claude}}</ref>

===Withdrawal from the Premiership===
[[File:Performance Chart NRL UNI.svg|thumb|Chart of yearly table positions for Sydney University in First Grade [[NSWRFL|NSWRL]]]]
Generally, the amateur students struggled to perform against the professional players of the other sides and University enjoyed very little success only winning 44 of its 226 games during its time in the Premiership (and only won 2 games after 1933). The club did not win a single match in 1935, continuing a losing streak that started in round 2, 1934 and which would run till round 14, 1936 and which marked the most consecutive losses in NSWRL/NRL premiership history at 42. This run of form, in addition to having spent 12 of its 18 seasons in last place prompted their decision to withdraw from the Premiership at the close of the [[New South Wales Rugby Football League season 1937|1937 season]].
 
==Life After the Premiership==
[[Rugby league]] did not perish at the [[University of Sydney]] and sides representing the Universityuniversity continued to play in various competitions. Most notably, Varsity played in the [[New South Wales Rugby League|NSWRL]] '''Inter-District Competition''', '''Second Division''' and '''Metropolitan League''' (predecessors to the [[NSWRL Jim Beam Cup|Jim Beam Cup]]) between 1964 and 1976, finishing as '''Second Division''' runners-up in 1969 and 1971, both times to the leading side of the day [[Wentworthville Magpies|Wentworthville]].

In 1922 the University of Sydney Club presented the league with a shield for use as a trophy in a statewide High School Rugby League knockout competition. The competition became known as the 'University Shield' and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious competitions in schoolboy rugby league.
 
The University Shield has undergone various changes in format since its inception in 1922, the most notable of these having been the exclusion of specialised 'Sports High Schools' which dominated the competition between 1996- and 2006 in a spirit deemed 'untrue' to the traditional concept of the competition.
 
===Sydney Shield===
In December 2018, it was revealed that University would be competing in the [[Sydney Shield]] competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/?competition=165&season=2019&team=500480/|title=Sydney University Draw|website=www.nswrl.com.au}}</ref> At the end of the 2019 [[Sydney Shield]] season, University finished 10th on the table.
