The Sydney University Lions was one of the foundation teams of Gridiron NSW (then known as the NSWGFL), playing its first game on 29 April 1984. The Lions is the only team to have competed in every season of the Gridiron NSW competition. The Lions have established an enviable winning tradition, playing in 32 championship games in 41 years and winning 22 Gridiron NSW titles, the most by any club. The Lions were runners up in 2023 and won the previous two Waratah Bowls played for the Gridiron NSW championship in 2020 & 2022.
The Lions pre-season starts in June each year, with the season running from September – December.
