Charity Shield
What is the Charity Shield? Regarded as the unofficial start to the National Rugby League (NRL) season, the Charity Shield has been in operation since 1982 (with the exception of 2000 and 2001 when Souths were not in the NRL). Originally consisting of the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the St. George Dragons, the St George Illawarra Dragons took over its former club's duties in 1999.

Both teams go head to head in an annual clash three weeks prior to the kickoff of the NRL season. The winner of the match has all moneys raised going towards hospital funding in the South Sydney and St George areas.
