Regarded as the unofficial start to the National Rugby League (NRL) season, the Charity Shield has been in operation since 1982 (with the exception of 2000 and 2001 when Souths were not in the NRL).

Originally consisting of the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the St. George Dragons, the St George Illawarra Dragons took over its former club's duties in 1999. Both teams go head to head in an annual clash three weeks prior to the kickoff of the NRL season.

The winner of the match has the proceeds donated to the charity of their choice.

The match is always shown on national television and in 2002 for the first and only time was screened live on Sky Sports in the UK.
