The Golden Lions (currently known as the Fidelity ADT Golden Lions for sponsorship reasons) are a South African professional rugby union team based in Johannesburg who compete in the annual Currie Cup and Rugby Challenge.
The team is governed by the Golden Lions Rugby Union (GLRU), and was originally known as Transvaal (after Transvaal Province), before changes to the political landscape in South Africa forced a name change to the Gauteng Lions, before again being changed to the Golden Lions. The GLRU also operates the associated United Rugby Championship franchise Lions, which also draw players from Griquas.
