The 2009 St. George Illawarra Dragons season was 11th in the joint venture Rugby League club's history.

They competed in the NRL's 2009 Telstra Premiership under new coach Wayne Bennett and finished the season as minor premiers.

Coming off a 2008 Qualifying Final loss to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and with a new Coach in the office being Wayne Bennett, the Dragons signed a number of new players but lost just as many.

Five Toyota Cup players of 2008 have been promoted to the First Grade squad with more talented juniors rising through the ranks within the club.

Their strong performance also led to new records for home match attendances at WIN Jubilee Oval.
