The club was originally formed by Ted & Maureen Riley after they viewed a rugby league internationalgame between Australia and New Zealand at Olympic Park in 1991 which left them wondering if rugby league could take off in the Victorian township of Sunbury. They then placed an advertisement in the local paper looking for other interested parties and on 17 September 1991 the first meeting of the club was held with twenty-six members.
The members originally applied to the Victorian Rugby League for membership in 1991 but couldn't afford the entry fee to begin a club so had to wait until 1992 when the club became officially formed. Since 1992 the club has gone on to register a total of 390 senior players.
They won their first premiership in 2009, beating Casey Sharks 48-18 in the VRL grand final. 2011 saw the Tigers win their 2nd premiership in 3 years against the North West Wolves. [1]
