Darwin Rugby League


The Darwin Rugby League is a former rugby league competition based in Darwin, Northern Territory.

It administered the competition, officially, from 1950 in Darwin until 2010.
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. The competition in Darwin is now controlled by the NTRL.
