Background

Prior to the formation of the current club in 1949, Erina teams competed in local rugby league competitions in 1915, from 1919 to 1926, and again from 1930 to 1934. That club were runner's up in 1915.[2] Erina won an end of season knock-out competition in 1920.[3] In 1923 and 1924, Erina won premierships in both grades, first and second.[4] In the knock-out competition of those years, Erina won second grade in 1923 and both grades in 1924.[5][6] A meeting of the club in August 1934 expressed disappointment at the outcome of protests and contemplated disbanding.[7] Erina did not compete in the 1935 competition.[8]
