Premiers are made when the stands are empty.
Surfers Paradise Dolphins stand as a shining example of strength and prominence in rugby union on the Gold Coast. We take great pride in our status as one of the largest and most formidable teams in the region. Our legacy is underpinned by the remarkable journey of several teammates who have not only graced the field for us but have also made their mark in elite teams.
In anticipation of the upcoming GCDRU Competition, we kickstart our training regimen in January, with a keen focus on our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-grade teams. Join us in 2024 on this thrilling journey of dedication, sportsmanship, and unwavering determination.

SENIOR TRAINING: Every Tuesday & Thursday from 6:30pm
Surfers Paradise Rugby Union Club is used six nights a week during the rugby season by Junior, Senior and Rugby 7s teams. Individual team coaches determine how many sessions and when practices will be. Players are notified of training sessions and times by their team Manager – Follow your team on Team App / Facebook / Email for the most up-to-date information.
Senior teams (1st, 2nd & 3rd grades) play against other Gold Coast District Rugby Union Clubs, mostly on Saturday afternoons, starting from (2024 TBC) through to (2024 TBC). Your team Manager will notify you each week of the upcoming game time and location – Team Ladders and fixtures information for the season is available and regularly updated on the Rugby Xplorer App.
All registrations are completed online using the Rugby Xplorer App by credit or debit card. Pease check the following links for more information on how to register online and 2024 registration fees.
Pre season training for Seniors generally starts in January. Some pre-season club days and games are organised to promote our club and to encourage a good rugby experience. However, coaches of individual teams are ultimately responsible for ensuring their players are match fit and prepared for the season ahead.
The first games of GCDRU competition are scheduled for the weekend of (2024 TBC). Teams play every week, unless they have a bye, in a two round competition with a 3-week final series. The draw for 2024 Senior teams will be available on the Rugby Xplorer App before the season starts, and should be checked regularly for unexpected late changes.
Each year there are short out-of-season tournaments or Rugby 7’s tournaments following a short break from the end of the 15-a-side season. Contact your team manager for more information or to register interest.
