The Windsor Wolves are a rugby league team based in the town of Windsor, New South Wales. The club fields both junior and senior teams in the Penrith District Rugby League competitions. The club has fielded teams in semi-professional, New South Wales Rugby League competitions. In March 2020 the club re-entered the third-tier Ron Massey Cup and fourth-tier Sydney Shield competitions. These competitions were cancelled after one round of matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2020/03/27/nswrl-cancels-nine-competitions-for-2020-season/|title=NSWRL cancels nine competitions for 2020 season|date=27 Mar 2020|website=NSWRL|access-date=24 Aug 2020}} When the Sydney Shield was reorganised for a restart in July 2020, Windsor did not participate.{{Cite web|url=https://leagueunlimited.com/competition/show/sydney-shield/2020/ladder|title=Sydney Shield 2020 - Ladder|date=13 Sep 2020|website=League Unlimited|access-date=20 Sep 2020}}

The Wolves received an enormous boost in July 2007 as they signed a deal with the Penrith Panthers to act as a feeder club for them in the NSW Cup for three seasons. This was a great achievement for the small club and meant that they participated in one of two competitions that sit immediately below the National Rugby League. The deal was extended, but ended at the conclusion of the 2013 season.

The Windsor Wolves had played in the NSWRL Jim Beam Cup since the inception of the competition in 2003 to 2016. This competition is now known as the Ron Massey Cup. In the mid-1970s, Windsor competed in an equivalent, the Metropolitan Cup. They also participated for a single season in 1993.
The Wolves won the Jim Beam Cup competition twice, in 2005 and 2008, defeating Sydney Bulls on both occasions 23–18 in 2005 & 36–16 in 2008 grand finals.[http://www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au/news/pages/20675.html]'Congratulatory Plaque for the Windsor Wolves', Hawkesbury Council News, retrieved 21 January 2007
