Rugby League is a team sport that is a form of rugby football. It is played between two teams, each consisting of thirteen players. The objective of the game is to score points by carrying the ball over the opponent’s goal line and touching it down for a try, or by kicking the ball through the opponent’s goalposts for a goal. Rugby League originated in England in the late 19th century as a split from Rugby Union, primarily to allow for professionalism in the sport.
Matches are played on a rectangular field, and the game consists of two halves. Key features include the use of a limited number of tackles before the ball is turned over to the opposing team, creating a structured yet dynamic form of play. Rugby League has a strong following in countries such as Australia, England, and New Zealand, with professional leagues and international competitions like the Rugby League World Cup. The rules prioritize speed and skill, and the sport is known for its physicality and intense competition.
