The '''Shellharbour City Dragons''' are an Australian  [[rugby league]] football club based in the [[Shellharbour, New South Wales]]. They currently are not competing in any competitions and formerly competed in the [[New South Wales Cup]] in 2009 and 2010 and acted as a feeder club to the [[NRL]] club [[St. George Illawarra Dragons]].<ref name="Shellharbour City Dragons">{{cite web|url=http://nswrl.com.au/default.aspx?s=nswc-clubs-dragons|title=Shellharbour City Dragons|publisher=NSWRL|accessdate=2010-03-16}}</ref>
==History==
The Shellharbour City Dragons were formed from current [[Illawarra Rugby League|Illwarra Carlton League]] and former [[Group 7 Rugby League]] member, the [[Shellharbour Sharks]]. The Sharks administration still run this version of Shellharbour City representation as well as the other Sharks sides. The Dragons were established in 2007 as the '''Shellharbour City Marlins''' to act as a feeder club to the [[St George Illawarra Dragons]], initially entering the [[NSWRL]] [[Jim Beam Cup]] with the thought in mind to gain entry into the [[NSW Cup]], a feat achieved in 2009. When this occurred, the name was converted from Marlins to Dragons to further enhance the association between the two clubs. In 2011, the Dragons failed to come up with money to field a team in the NSW Cup, so currently the club is taking a hiatus from this competition with an aim to return in 2012.<ref name="steelers fill void">[http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-league/steelers-ready-to-fill-nsw-cup-void/2050776.aspx Steelers ready to fill NSW Cup void]</ref>
