Since being founded in 1897 the club has won 44 premierships and has been a runner-up 24 times. Since joining the SWFL in 1957 they have won 14 premierships.
The South Bunbury club was founded in May 1897 at a meeting at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Bunbury.
South Bunbury picked up the nickname Tigers after the relative inaccessibility and perceived wildness of the South Bunbury area around the turn of the 20th century.
