The Melbourne Rebels were an Australian professional rugby union team based in Melbourne that competed in the Super Rugby Pacific competition. The Rebels made their debut in SANZAR's Super Rugby tournament in 2011. The club shared its name with a former Australian Rugby Championship team, but was unrelated. The team played home matches at AAMI Park.
The team was dissolved by Rugby Australia at the conclusion of the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season.[1] The women's team was also disbanded by Rugby Australia.[2]
