The Eastern SubURbs District Rugby League Football Club was formed on 24 January 1908. The ESDRLFC was formed, under its articles of association with the NSWRFL, to represent the geographic areas in Sydney covering the Waverley, Randwick, Woollahra, Paddington, Darlinghurst and Vaucluse local government municipalities. The team won its first match, defeating Newtown 32–16 at Wentworth Oval on 20 April 1908. In 1913 it became the first club to win three consecutive premiersships. The first grand final victory in 1975 was a 38–0 victory against St George in the first grade final. In 1974 and 1975, the team won 39, 39 and 39 team matches, both minor, and both grand finals, and set a premiership record of 19 consecutive wins and a grand final final victory.
In 1986, they became one of five teams in premiership history to remain undefeated for an entire season. They are the only club to remain unbeaten for two consecutive seasons. In 2009, the Roosters won the wooden spoon until claiming it again in the 2009 season.
