In the 1920s the club competed in the Southern Districts Rugby League.[1] They won premierships in that competition in 1922 and 1923.[2] During the 1930s Camden mostly played for challenge cups, although they did participate in a Group 6 league competition in 1935.[3] Camden returned to the re-formed Group 6 competition in 1946.[4] Semi-finalists in 1947, Camden were minor premiers in 1948. Losing their semi-final to Picton, Camden exercised their right to challenge Bowral in a Grand Final.[5] This match was drawn.[6][7] In a replay, Camden triumphed by 14 points to five.[8] Further premierships were won in 1951,[9] 1978, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2016

In 2015 Camden RLFC made the grand final in U18's (Div 1), Reserve Grade and First Grade but was unable to bring home a Premiership in any Grade.

Camden entered a team in the 2016 inaugural Ladies League Tag Group 6 competition taking out the minor Premiership and the Premiership after beating Campbelltown City in the grand final match.

Also in 2016 the U18s, Leaguetag and First Grade all won minor Premierships and went on to take home the Premiership trophy whilst Reserve Grade scrapped into 5th position and went on to win the Premiership. Camden RLFC is the first club in Group 6 CRL history to win the four premier competitions that it competed in the same season. #4from4
