Rugby league is one of the two popular rugby codes in the world today. Similar to its counterpart, rugby union, the sport is played at amateur and professional levels in different countries worldwide. Both rugby league and rugby union has had their share of success in the respective countries that enjoy this highly competitive sport.
The popularity of rugby league has extended its reach to some of the biggest sports capitals in the world. Many of these rugby league nations are in Europe, such as France and England, as well as in Australian regions like Queensland and New South Wales, although the sport is slowly gaining attention in many other parts of the world as well.
The emergence of rugby league as very popular full-contact sport has broken not only the barriers of geographical location, but also of gender. All over the world women have started taking up what was previously considered a man’s sport.
Despite being heavily dominated by men, rugby league has made its influence known to women as well. In many different countries, women’s rugby league has made significant strides in making the sport more popular to everyone.
Women's rugby league is known to be the version of the rugby league game played by women. There currently are clubs organized for female only participation running in Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand. The games in which these clubs compete in are overseen by the various individual organizations of those separate countries and internationally by the Women's & Girls Rugby League. At the international level Australia, France, Great Britain and New Zealand compete on a regular basis with the Women's Rugby League World Cup held at a regular interval after first being established.
The Women's Rugby League World Cup was first held in Great Britain during 2000 to coincide with men's Rugby League World Cup. The first participants were Australia, France, Great Britain and New Zealand, who went on to win the inaugural Women’s Rugby League tournament as well as winning the 2005 competition five years later on their home turf. Australia hosted the 2008 Women’s Rugby League World Cup.
