The Sydney Bulls were a
rugby league team based in the suburb of
Bass Hill in
south-western Sydney. Founded in 1999, the club was formed by
Lebanese-Australian players and businessmen who were involved in the 1997
Lebanon Rugby League World Sevens side. Since 2000, the Bulls competed in the semi-professional Metropolitan Cup and, since its inception in 2003, the
NSWRL Jim Beam Cup competition in NSW, Australia. Their colours are black, white green and red. They were included in the
NSW Cup for 2009 and acted as a feeder club for the
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs under the name of the Bankstown City Bulls. The Sydney Bulls folded at the end of the 2009 season.
Metropolitan Cup/NSWRL Jim Beam Cup
The Bulls found success early in their history winning the last Metropolitan Cup in their third season, 2002.
Since the competition was reorganised into the NSWRL Jim Beam Cup in 2003 the Bulls have appeared in four of the five Grand Finals, winning in both 2004 (defeating defending premiers
The Entrance Tigers) and 2006 (defeating
Newtown Jets). In 2005 the Bulls were defeated by
Windsor Wolves in the season decider, and in 2007 30-20 by
The Entrance Tigers. The Sydney Bulls folded at the end of the 2009 season.
