About Us

Wests Tigers has proudly competed as a professional rugby league team in the NRL since the 2000 season, celebrating our first premiership in 2005. In 2023, we expanded our presence by competing in the Telstra Women’s Premiership, further strengthening our commitment to the growth of the sport. Formed as a joint venture between the Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies in 1999, we have grown into a strong and inclusive organization, dedicated to developing future generations of talent.

Our headquarters, featuring a state-of-the-art training facility and administration offices, are based at the Zurich Centre at Concord Oval. In 2024, we strengthened our commitment to our community by opening a new office in Campbelltown, cementing our identity in the South West region and enhancing our ability to serve the area.

Our purpose is to enrich the lives of our community across every facet, allowing us to be a modern, innovative, and inclusive sporting organisation. At Wests Tigers, we offer a dynamic, passionate, and fast-paced environment, cultivating an excellent working culture built upon our five core values: Family, Teamwork, Excellence, Respect, and Honesty.
