The NRL team with the most premierships is the South Sydney Rabbitohs, who have won 21 premierships in total. Most of these were won before the modern NRL era began in 1998, but they hold the record for the highest number of premiership titles in history.
Additional context:
- The Penrith Panthers are the current premiers, having won four consecutive titles from 2021 to 2024, but they have fewer total premierships compared to South Sydney.
- The St. George Dragons hold the record for the longest consecutive premiership streak with 11 straight from 1956 to 1966.
- Melbourne Storm has been very successful since the NRL started in 1998 but does not have more premierships overall than South Sydney.
Therefore, South Sydney Rabbitohs are the team that has won the most NRL premierships historically.
