The Super League Dream Team is an ideal team, consisting of the players deemed to have been the best in their position in the Super League rugby league tournament by a panel of journalists and broadcasters. The team is selected at the end of each respective season.
The inaugural Dream Team was nominated in 1996 and coincided with the start of Super League and the move to a summer rugby season.
The Dream Team award is generally devoid of bias towards the big teams, with performers from the lesser teams getting slots in the Dream Team over the years. It also shows no bias towards the large number of antipodean imports.

“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
“The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.”
—Francisco José De Goya Y Lucientes (1746–1828)
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
