About
Rugby League


Rugby league football is a full-contact team sport played with an oval-shaped ball by two teams of thirteen on a rectangular grass field.

It's fast, exciting and spectacular and is played by skilful and powerful athletes. The sport demands that players show determination, sporting ingenuity and courage. The action on the field happens at high speed with an emphasis on the key rugby skills of catch, pass and tackle.

Rugby league is one of the two major codes of rugby football, the other being Rugby Union.

Rugby league is most prominent across Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and France where the sport is played professionally, however it is also played worldwide throughout Europe, Africa, the USA, the West Indies and across Asia.

Throughout Europe Rugby League is played in Belgium, Czech Republic, England, Estonia, Ireland, Italy, France, Greece, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Serbia, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Ukraine and Wales.
