[2] The team's name became Sydney in 2019 after New South Wales Rugby took control of the side and dropped the Rays moniker.
North Harbour Rays had been formed as a consortium of four Sydney clubs; Gordon, Manly, Northern Suburbs, and Warringah in 2014.
[5] North Harbour took its identity from the Central Coast Rays side that played in the earlier national competition, the Australian Rugby Championship (ARC) in 2007.
[7] The Central Coast Rays team was officially launched in March 2007 by the New South Wales Rugby Union (NSWRU).
[14] The team played in a quartered harlequin-style strip composed of blue, red, and two shades of green from the four constituent clubs.
[22] Damien Cummins was initially named as head coach in 2016 but he stepped down and Simon Cron was appointed to the job.
[23] The Rays performed well that year and lost only once in the regular season – to eventual minor premiers NSW Country – before being knocked out in a semi-final by the Perth Spirit, who went on to win the NRC title.
[25] The Rays' moniker and logo were dropped in 2019, a year after New South Wales Rugby had taken control of the Sydney team.
From 2014 to 2017, the North Harbour Rays team wore harlequin-style quartered strips in the various colours of its four constituent clubs.
The team has its training base at the University of NSW in Sydney's eastern suburbs, the same facility used by the Waratahs.
