They have earned the nickname 'Queanbeyan Whites' due to the colour of their playing jersey.

In the Club’s first season, Queanbeyan went on to become joint Canberra Cup Premiers.

Queanbeyan won their first Premiership in 1959, defeating Royals 21-14 in the Grand Final.

More recently they broke a 24-year premiership drought by winning the ACTRU Premier Division John I Dent Cup Grand Final in 2007 in which they defeated the Gungahlin Eagles 33-12.

The club has produced several professional and international rugby union stars.
