The '''Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks''' are an Australian professional [[rugby league]] club based in the [[Sutherland Shire]] of [[Southern Sydney|Southern]] [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]]. Cronulla compete in the [[National Rugby League]] (NRL), [[Australasia]]'s premier rugby league competition. The '''Sharks''', as they are commonly known, were admitted to the [[New South Wales Rugby League premiership]], predecessor of the [[Australian Rugby League]] and the current National Rugby League competition, in January 1967. The club competed in every premiership season since then and, during the [[Super League war]], joined the [[Super League (Australia)|rebel competition]] before continuing on in the re-united NRL Premiership. The Sharks have been in competition for 58 years, appearing in four [[NRL Grand Final|grand finals]], winning their first premiership in [[2016 NRL Grand Final|2016]] after defeating the [[Melbourne Storm]] at [[Stadium Australia]].
