The 2009 St. George Illawarra Dragons season is 11th in the joint venture club's history. They are competing in the NRL's 2009 Telstra Premiership under new coach Wayne Bennett.

Telstra Premiership

Coming off a 2008 Qualifying Final loss to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and with a new Coach in the office being Wayne Bennett, the Dragons have signed a number of key players but unfortunately lost just as many. The Dragons are hoping to improve on last years Qualifying Final loss, by making it even further this year. Five Toyota Cup players of 2008 have been promoted to the First Grade squad with more talented juniors rising through the ranks within the club.

St. George led the competition in defence in 2009 and finished the season with the minor premiership, the club's first. Their strong performance also led to new records for home match attendances at WIN Jubilee Oval.
