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 the 25 April 1910 in preparation for a tour of Great Britain that same year.[3]

The NZRL administers the Kiwis, the New Zealand national team. Currently they manage the National Zonal Competition, a seven Zone national competition played at 15s, 17s and Premiers, as well as many age group and school competitions. 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]

History

In April 1910, the New Zealand Rugby League was formed for the purpose of administering the new code in New Zealand[5] and "with the blessing of the Northern Rugby Football Union, on the condition that the Auckland District would not have the management of the entire game in New Zealand".[6]

Legends of League

2010 saw the celebration of 100 years of administration of New Zealand Rugby League. There were also two new additions to the Legends of League.

Don Hammond was Kiwis captain of the 1961 tour of Britain and France. He played 61 matches for the Kiwis including 20 tests. Tom Hadfield played 18 tests for the Kiwis and scored tries in five consecutive tests against Great Britain between 1957 and 1961.

These two additions take the tally to 44 since the Legends of League was introduced in 1995.[8]
