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 Zealand Kiwis, the New Zealand national team. Currently they manage the NZRL National Secondary Schools Tournament, the NZRL Women's National Tournament and the NZRL National Youth Tournament, a seven Zone national competition played at 15s, 17s grades. The premier competition is known as the National Premiership and in 2016 a new National Championship will be launched. 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 Peter Leitch, who replaced Helen Clark in the role in 2011.[4]
