Canberra Raiders Hall of Fame

In 2019 the Canberra Raiders announced a new Hall of Fame, to recognise past players, coaches and individuals who have contributed significantly to the club. 

Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the club’s maiden premiership in 1989, 13 players and former Coach Tim Sheens were inducted as the first members of the Canberra Raiders Hall of Fame at the 2019 Season Launch.

The Raiders inducted three more members into the Hall of Fame mid-season, when they held their inaugural and annual Hall of Fame gala event on July 19.

Four more players were inducted into the Raiders Hall of Fame during the 2022 season launch. The four 2021 inductees were due to be inducted at the 2021 Meninga Medal dinner, but with the COVID lockdown the event was postponed to this year’s season launch.

In May 2022, four players were inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Raiders 40th anniversary gala dinner.
