The Oatley Junior Rugby Club was formed in 1958 as a foundation club of the junior competition in the St George district. Our first team entered the Under 12 competition. By 1968 the Club had 240 players, 13 teams competing and had also collected 13 premierships.

In 1969 the name of the Club was changed to the Oatley Rugby Club, reflecting a change of direction as senior teams began entering the Sydney Suburban competition. By 1973 the Club had achieved 17 premierships and was an important feeder Club for The St George Rugby Club.

The Junior Club struggled for nos. throughout the 1980's however the introduction of the Rugby World Cup in 1987 was the catalyst for growth in the number of junior players. From 3 junior teams in 1990 the Club has expanded to be the second largest junior Rugby Club south of the harbour. We currently field 12 teams ranging from Under 6's to Under 16's. The Club currently has 240 registered players.

The success of the early years has been rekindled, with a swag of premierships in recent years.

The Club is proud to call three Wallabies ex players. Bruce Battishall, Gary Gainsford and Barry Stumbles have all donned the bottle green and gold of the Oatley Rugby Club.

As well as the Juniors, the Club also fields 4 senior teams and a Colts,(Under 21's), that compete in Division 2 of the Sydney Suburban Rugby competition. They are also based at Evatt Park, Lugarno.
