Rugby League |
| Rugby league football (usually shortened to rugby league, rugby, football or league) is a full-contact team sport played with a oval-shaped ball by two teams of thirteen on a rectangular grass field. Rugby league takes its name from what was initially a breakaway faction of England's Rugby Football Union (RFU) known as the Northern Union when established in 1895. The Northern Union later changed its name to the Rugby Football League in 1922 and thus, over time the sport itself became known as "rugby league". Over the following decades, the rules of both forms of rugby were gradually changed, and now rugby league and rugby union are distinctly different sports. |
