The Queanbeyan Whites were established in 1954, joining the ACTRU Competition in 1955. The Mighty Whites, as they are also known, went on to first win the ACTRU Premiership in 1959 and then went on to a run of three successive premierships from 1981-1983.
The Whites 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, a match they never looked like losing. The September 1 Grand Final win was made all the more sweeter by the Queanbeyan Colts side, who also won their grand final on the day, beating the Tuggeranong Vikings.
The following 2008 season proved to be arguably the finest in Whites history with First, Second and the Colts grades finishing the season as minor premiers. The club was also awarded the honour of Champion Club and Club Champions for the first time ever.
However the icing on the cake came for the Mighty Whites at Viking Park on grand final day. Three premierships were delivered in style with First Grade, Second Grade and Colts proving that their minor premierships were no fluke.
After losing the heartbreak of losing a close final to Tuggeranong in 2009 the Whites first grade side got their revenge in 2010 in another close final this time winning 30-28. The colts team also bounced back from a disappointing 2009 to take the title in 2010 and then followed it up in 2011.
The whites now have a new home which features a modern function room named "The Whitehouse". Overlooking the picturesque Campese Oval and boasting new bar, catering and entertainment facilities The Whitehouse is ideal for all occasions. Contact for bookings and stay tuned for up coming events.
