Redcliffe Dolphins are a semi-professional rugby league club based in Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1947, they were accepted into the Brisbane Rugby League (BRL) premiership competition in 1960, and since 1996 have played in the Queensland Cup.
A separately licensed team, simply called the Dolphins, competes in the fully professional National Rugby League (NRL), while the Redcliffe Dolphins squad continues to play in the Queensland competition.
The BRL reached its competitive and attendance peak in the 1980s and then began to decline in favour of an expanded NSWRFL Winfield Cup competition. In 1988, the Brisbane Broncos, featuring many BRL players, began competing in the NSWRL, overshadowing the BRL. A new Queensland Cup competition began in 1996, in which the Redcliffe Dolphins were inaugural runners-up. In 1997, the Dolphins won both the final BRL competition and the Queensland Cup.
Through their NRL license, the Dolphins organisation has become the only former BRL club to regain top-flight status.
