History

On 27 March 2018, the Sydney Roosters applied for, and won, a license to participate in the inaugural 2018 NRL Women's season.[2] Adam Hartigan was named as the coach of the women's side.

In June 2018, the club used up the maximum of fifteen marquee signings ahead of the inaugural season which subsequently commenced in September. Players signed included Karina Brown, Isabelle Kelly and Ruan Sims.[24]

The club finished runners-up in the inaugural

2018 NRL Women's Premiership Grand Final.[25]
Zahara Temara claimed the 2018 Player of the Season award.

In 2019, Rick Stone took over as coach. The club, however, failed to win a match, claiming the wooden spoon. Tallisha Harden was awarded the club's Best & Fairest Player for the 2019 season.

Jamie Feeney was appointed the head coach for the 2020 season, being determined to turn the club's fortunes around. He was assisted by Kylie Hilder and John Strange. Feeney immediately appointed Corban McGregor as the clubs new captain. The club also announced the big signing of Sevens Rugby star and 2016 Gold Medalist, Charlotte Caslick. In his first season, Feeney took the side to the Grand Final however they fell short, going down 20–10 as the Brisbane Broncos claimed a three-peat of premierships.

In 2021, John Strange was appointed the head coach with Kylie Hilder staying on as assistant coach. After a tough start to the season, the Roosters snuck into the finals in fourth place before upsetting defending champs Brisbane Broncos in the semi-final and then defeating the highly fancied St George-Illawarra Dragons in the Grand Final (played at Moreton Daily Stadium, Redcliffe) to claim the club's inaugural NRLW title.

John Strange added to his success in 2022 by claiming the club's first NRLW Minor Premiership (5 wins, 0 losses) before being eliminated by the Parramatta Eels in an upset semi-final loss. Season 2023 followed a similar path with the club finishing second (8 wins, 2 losses) in the Premiership rounds before once again falling short in the semi-final, this time at the hands of the Gold Coast Titans.
