The establishment of the St George Illawarra Dragons ahead of the 1999 season guaranteed that two of rugby league's grandest areas - where St George's history met Illawarra's breeding ground - would be represented in the game's elite competition. As we move forward, the Dragons continue to celebrate the rich history and traditions set out by the founding clubs and ensure that the propagation of both the men's and, as an inaugural NRLW club, women's game remain at the forefront of the Dragons' DNA. The Dragons’ headquarters are based over two main locations, comprising a training facility at WIN Stadium in Wollongong and administration offices at the St George Leagues Club in Kogarah.
