The Penrith Panthers are an Australian professional rugby league football club based in the Greater Western Sydney suburb of Penrith that competes in the National Rugby League (NRL). The team is based 55 km (34 mi) west of the centre of Sydney, at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Penrith are the current reigning NRL Premiers, having won the title five times, including the last three times consecutively.
Penrith were admitted to the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition in 1967. Penrith struggled for almost twenty years before finally reaching their first finals series. The club achieved its first Grand Final appearance in 1990 but were beaten by the Canberra Raiders 18–14. The following year, Penrith met Canberra again in the 1991 Grand Final, this time winning the game 19–12.
Penrith won the NRL premiership again in 2003. Their most recent premiership achievement came in 2023, where they defeated the Brisbane Broncos by 26–24 in the Grand Final after being 16 points down in the second half. After losing the 2020 grand final to the Melbourne Storm, Penrith became the second club to retain the premiership in the NRL-era, winning in 2021 and 2022,[1] and the first to achieve a premiership hat-trick in the NRL era.
Ivan Cleary was appointed head coach in October 2018, having previously served in the same role between 2012–15. Former Penrith premiership winning head coach Phil Gould was the club's general manager but departed in 2019.[2]
^A feat first achieved by the Sydney Roosters (2018–2019).
