The Dapto Canaries were established in 1911 and are one of five founding clubs of the Illawarra Rugby League.

However, it took the Canaries many decades to win their first title in 1966, and they have been strong competitors ever since.

The Dapto team is represented by a yellow canary on their emblem, displayed in front of a blue background.

Their jerseys reflect this emblem with the use of gold on blue.

The Canaries play at Groundz Precinct, Dapto.
