The New Zealand Rugby League (NZRL) is the governing body for the sport of rugby league football in New Zealand.[2] The NZRL was founded on 25 April 1910 in preparation for a tour of Great Britain that same year.[3]
The NZRL administers the New ZealandKiwis and the New Zealand Kiwi Ferns. Currently they manage the NZRL National Secondary Schools Tournament, the NZRL Women's National Tournament and the NZRL National 20's Competition, a seven Zone national competition played at 16s, 18s grades. The premier competition is known as the National Premiership and the National Championship which is a tier below. NZRL launched the Inaugural National 20's Competition in 2021 as a new pathway for developing elite talent, this includes 2 teams from Auckland, Auckland Blue and Auckland White, Wai-Coa Bay, Central Districts, Northland and South Island. They are also responsible for elite pathway programmes including the NZ 16s and NZ 18s teams, the NZ Taurahere and the Junior Kiwis. They have previously managed the now defunct Lion Red Cup and Bartercard Cup competitions.
The NZRL is an incorporated society under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908.[2] The current patron of the NZRL is Sir Anand Satyanand , who replaced Sir Peter Leitch in the role in 2019.[4]
