Scone Thoroughbreds is a country rugby league team, based in Scone, New South Wales, competing in the Group 21 competition under the auspices of the Country Rugby League.
The club is one of the most successful teams in country rugby league, winning 34 titles in its history. The Thoroughbreds surpassed the South Sydney Rabbitohs in terms of 1st grade premierships in 1994.
