Wales Rugby League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wales Rugby League is the governing body for rugby league in Wales.

In 1907 The Welsh Northern Union was formed in Wrexham, but the Northern Union refused it affiliation as they wanted the body located in the south of Wales and the WNU soon folded.

In 1926 The RFL formed a Welsh commission in an attempt to convert rugby union clubs to rugby league. The Wales Rugby League achieved governing body status in 2005 and employed its first professional chairman, Mark Rowley, in 2006.
