History

Early Queensland years

Prior to Super rugby competition, the Queensland Reds were a representative team that was selected from the rugby union clubs within the state. Rugby in the state of Queensland has its origins as far back as 1876, which is when it is thought the earliest games were played. In 1882 the first interstate matches were played between Queensland and New South Wales, and the following year the Queensland Rugby Union was formed. The Queensland Rugby Union (QRU is the governing body for the Sport of Rugby union in the Australian state of Queensland. That season the first interstate match in Brisbane took place, with Queensland defeating New South Wales 12 to 11 at the Eagle Farm Racecourse. Brisbane ( is the state capital of Queensland. Brisbane is the third most populous city in Australia and the most populous city of Queensland In 1896 the first Queensland team departed for a tour of New Zealand. They played New Zealand in Wellington on August 15, losing 9 to nil at Athletic Park.

Pre-Super competitions

With the start up of rugby league as well as World War I, Queensland rugby was dormant for a number of years, and the QRU was disbanded in 1919 and would not be revived until the late 1920s. History See also History of rugby league The grass roots of rugby league can be traced to early football history, through the playing of ball games In 1928 the QRU was re-formed, and the GPS competition and major clubs soon returned. [1] The game struggled during World War II, but growth was nonetheless apparent, with the advent of the Queensland Junior Rugby Union and the Country Rugby Union. In 1950 the QRU secured the Normanby Oval at nominal rent from Brisbane Grammar School, before they moved into Ballymore Stadium in 1966, which would serve as the spiritual home of Queensland. Ballymore Stadium is the name of a Rugby union stadium situated in Herston, a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. In 1980 Queensland defeated the All Blacks, which was the first win against New Zealand. The match was played at Ballymore on July 6 and Queensland won 9 to 3.

Sponsorship

In 2005 it was announced long term sponsor of the Reds, the Bank of Queensland was not going to continue their support, many supporters of the code were worried that the Reds would not be able to find a sponsor to equal the previous BOQ support. Bank of Queensland ( one of the Australian state of Queensland 's oldest financial institutions is a full-service retail bank with a growing network of almost 270 Just before the 2006 season, Queensland Rail announced it signed with the Reds for the highest ever principal naming rights sponsor for the team, ending speculation the Reds financial situation was heading into dire straits.

After the first game of the 2007 season it was announced that Virgin Blue would also become a major sponsor of the Reds in one of the biggest on record as well. This completes a trifecta of Queensland's biggest companies who have all been major sponsors of the Reds. Suncorp is the financial organisation to represent the Reds, Tooheys New is the beer of choice and the Reds joined every other Australian S14 team in having ISC make their jersey.

Anthem/fans

In January 2007 the QLD Reds released a Team Anthem to be sung by the crowd during the match and after wins as well. The song was sung in the Queen Street Mall by members of the team including John Roe, Ben Tune, Peter Hynes and Berrick Barnes. The lyrics can be found on the Queensland Reds official website. The Reds also launched new marketing campaigns for 2007 (eg. "Join the Revolution"/"The Red Army Needs You"); and the fans have since been referred to as "The Red Army".

Rivalries

The Reds' most popular rivalries are obviously those teams in the Super 14 which are Australian (Brumbies, Force and the Waratahs). However, the most famous of these is the interstate clash between the Queensland Reds and the New South Wales Waratahs. The match between these two sides usually draws the largest crowd for the Reds when they are hosting the match, which is sometimes (such as 2006), used as the first game of the season. The matches contested during the season are also for the Bob Templeton Cup, which is a trophy awarded to the winner of the Queensland/New South Wales match.

Former Queensland captain John Eales, prior to the Queensland and New South Wales clash in 2001 quoted former Wallaby Mark Loane to sum up matches against New South Wales, "the most hard fought fights are fighting with your brother in the backyard. John Eales AM (born 27 June 1970 is a former Australian Rugby union footballer and arguably the most successful captain in the history of Australian Rugby. "[5] There have been over 270 matches between the two teams, with New South Wales well in the lead with over 170 wins, and Queensland over 80, with 12 drawn. [5] In just Super 12/14 matches, 11 have been played, Queensland winning 8, New South Wales 2 and one being drawn. [6]
