The NRL History
The National Rugby League or NRL is Australia’s number one domestic rugby-league club competition. It contains clubs from the original Sydney club Rugby League competition, which had been running continuously since 1908.
The 1980s and 1990s were times of great transition and disturbance for the game. Expansions across New South Wales and Queensland saw league grow and for the first time and begin to leave a genuine stamp across the country.
The mid 1990s also saw the Super League war which threatened to destroy the game. The NRL formed in the outcome of the 1990s’ Super League war as a joint partnership between the Australian governing body, the Australian Rugby League (ARL) and media giant News Corporation. This enterprise was dissolved in 2012, with control of the NRL going to the independently formed Australian Rugby League Commission.
More recently, however, league has enjoyed a period of growth and success that has stemmed from the creation of the NRL in 1997. The NRL currently has 16 clubs who battle it out over 26 rounds for a spot in the finals.
NRL matches are played in Australia and New Zealand from March to October. The season culminates in the premiership deciding game, the NRL Grand Final, traditionally one of Australia’s most popular sporting events and one of the world’s largest attended games. The NRL premiers also play in the World Club Challenge, a pre-season match against the champions of the European Super League competition. The reigning premiers are the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks winning their maiden premiership after 50 years.
