The Melbourne Storm is an Australian rugby league football club based in Melbourne, Victoria, that participates in the National Rugby League. It was the first fully professional rugby league team in the state. The club was founded in 1997 and played its first season in the newly reunified competition in 1998, playing its home games at AAMI Park and wearing a purple and navy blue jersey with gold and white trim. The Storm have won four premierships since their inception, in 1999, 2012, 2017 and 2020, and have contested several more grand finals. They also won the 2007 and 2009 grand finals but were stripped of those premierships following salary cap breaches. The club has also fielded a team in the under twenty competitions and, since 2019, in the New South Wales Rugby League Jersey Flegg Cup, which it won for the first time in 2025.
