The club has strong ties to the Portuguese community with a particular emphasis on the island of Madeira. Dulwich Hill was originally established by migrants from the island of Madeira who had settled in the Inner West. The club is supported by the Portugal Madeira Club, a restaurant in neighbouring Marrickville. [1]

Dulwich Hill has a strong rivalry with Fraser Park who are also of Portuguese heritage and have a very strong Portuguese derby when they play.
