The National Rugby League's Charity Shield match is an annual pre-season game between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and St. George Illawarra Dragons played before the start of the Premiership regular season.

Originally contested between South Sydney and St. George, and later by the St. George Illawarra Dragons when they formed a joint-venture with Illawarra in 1998 before the 1999 NRL season, the teams go head to head in an annual clash prior to the kickoff of the NRL season.

South Sydney holds the shield having won the most recent match in February 2024.

Broken down, St George played 17 matches, winning 11; while St George Illawarra, since their joint-venture in 1999, have played 24 matches, winning 6.

The match has been broadcast on national television and in 2002 and 2021 was screened live in the UK.
