Cumberland was one of the nine original teams in the NSWRL competition in 1908, albeit admitted after the first round of matches had already been played.
Their solitary win for the season was against Wests. At the end of the season the club was absorbed by Wests, and hence remains the shortest lived NSWRL/ARL/SL/NRL club, playing a mere 8 games.
