Souths

Souths is a commonly used shorthand for South Sydney, a region in Sydney, Australia, and for sports teams associated with that area. The term is widely used in local identity and media, and in reference to the South Sydney Rabbitohs, a professional rugby league club competing in the National Rugby League (NRL).

The Rabbitohs were founded in 1908 as one of the eight original teams in the New South Wales Rugby Football League, making them one of the oldest clubs in the sport. They wear red, white, and green, and are based in the inner-southern Sydney area, with home games traditionally played at Redfern Oval and at larger venues for major matches. The club has won multiple premierships, including the 2014 title, which ended a long championship drought and renewed the club’s prominence. The Rabbitohs have a large supporter base and are associated with community programs in South Sydney.
