The Dolphins are a professional rugby league football team, based in the Redcliffe Peninsula area of the City of Moreton Bay (which is part of the greater Brisbane area of South East Queensland),[7] that competes in the Australian National Rugby League (NRL).

Launched as a bid for inclusion into the NRL by Queensland Cup side Redcliffe Dolphins in 2020, the Dolphins were granted a separate licence in October 2021 to compete as the national league's 17th side from the 2023 season onwards. It is the fourth NRL team in the state of Queensland, including the North Queensland Cowboys based in Townsville, and the third team in South East Queensland along with the Brisbane Broncos and Gold Coast Titans, who were previously the last team to join the NRL competition in 2007.
