Darwin Rugby League

The Darwin Rugby League is a former rugby league competition based in Darwin, Northern Territory. The competition is administered by the Northern Territory Rugby League which is the body that takes care of the league's affairs. It administered the competition, officially, from 1950 in Darwin until 2010.[1][2]

On 6 May 2010, the Australian Rugby League disbanded the Darwin Rugby League due to ongoing issues, including the scheduling of matches and the playing clubs arguing these changes. [citation needed] The competition in Darwin is now controlled by the NTRL.
