ABOUT US

For our players, for our people


Communities don’t just happen, they are forged by acts of kindness, by shared experience and by the energy of people who care.

We care. You care. Rugby League Cares.


Since our formation in 2004, we have strived to care for the people who live, work and play in the villages, towns and cities wherever rugby league is played. From the athletes whose exploits on the pitch fire the imaginations of their communities, to all the adults and children whose lives are touched by the power of sport.
