Despite being one of the NRL's youngest clubs, the Melbourne Storm have been a story of consistency, success (and some controversy) since entering the competition in 1998.

They have already secured more silverware in 2024, claiming the minor premiership with two rounds to spare.

With Craig Bellamy's side searching for another grand final victory, The Sporting News looks at their past record.

When did Melbourne Storm last win the NRL?

The Storm last won the NRL premiership in 2020.

After finishing second on the ladder, Melbourne qualified for the decider after wins over the Parramatta Eels (qualifying final) and Canberra Raiders (preliminary final).

They faced minor premiers the Penrith Panthers in the grand final, where they blew them away in the first half before holding on in the second stanza to win 26-20.

The result marked the Storm's fourth premiership triumph. 

How many premierships have Melbourne Storm been stripped of?

In 2010, Melbourne were found guilty of systematic breaches of the NRL's salary cap.

They were consequently stripped of two premierships (2007 and 2009) and three minor premierships (2006, 2007 and 2008).
