Australian rugby league club season
March 2026
The 1925 South Sydney DRLFC season was the 18th in the club's history. They competed in the New South Wales Rugby Football League's 1925 Premiership, completing what's been described as the greatest season in South Sydney's history. During the year, the Rabbitohs won the first grade premiership, the City Cup knockout tournament, and the reserve grade and third grade premierships.
Coached by Howard Hallett and captained by Alf Blair, Souths' first grade side went through the premiership competition undefeated, winning all 12 games and leaving a 10-point gap between first and second. This was to be the first of five consecutive premierships won by the club.
Souths' winger Benny Wearing was the premiership's top try scorer (12) and top point scorer (80).
