National Rugby League je uz britansku Super League najvažnija svjetska liga u u rugby league na svijetu. Svoje početke seže u 1908. godinu kad je osnovana New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) koja je okupljala klubove iz Sydneya i okolice. Poslije se širila dalje na Novi Južni Wales, te potom i na ostale gradove u Australiji - Canberru, Brisbane itd. 1995. godine liga postaje Australian Rugby League (ARL), ali se istodobno neki klubovi odvajaju u Super League (kojoj je bila vlasnik medijska kuća News Corporation) te 1997. se igraju dvije lige ARL sa 12 momčadi i Super League sa 10 momčadi. ARL i Super League 1998. postižu dogovor o udruživanju u novu National Rugby League koja postoji i danas.
Struktura lige i natjecanja
NRL trenutno čini 16 momčadi, i to 15 iz Australije (od toga 10 iz Novog Južnog Walesa i jedna momčad s Novog Zelanda. Liga je ustrojena po franšiznom principu - nema ispadanja ili ulaženja u ligu na osnovu rezultata u nižim ligama, nego se liga širi dodavanjem (ekspanzijom) novih momčadi, ili u dogovoru s vodstvom lige prelaze u niže lige.
Natjecateljski je liga podijeljena na dva dijela - ligaški i doigravanje. U ligaškom dijelu svaka momčad odigra 24 utakmice, te se potom na osnovu osvojenih bodova (dva za pobjedu, jedan za neriješeno) odreuđje poredak. Momčaad s najviše osvojenih dijela u ligaškom (regularnom) dijelu sezone osvaja naslov minor premier. Zanimljivo je da i najlošija momčad u ligi dobiva posebnu nagradu - tzv Wooden Spoon. Osam najboljih iz regularne sezone ulazi u doigravanje (play-off), gdje eliminacijom na jednu utakmicu dolaze do Grand Final - finala NRL-a u kojoj pobjednik postaje prvakom.
Sezona NRL-a obično traje od ožujka do rujna.
Struktura doigravanja
Od 1999. godine u doigravanje NRL-a ulazi osam najboljih momčadi iz ligaškod dijela, a igra se po tzv. McIntyre Final Eight sustavom, na jednu utakmicu u svakom dijelu doigravanja. Doigravanje se igra kroz četiri tjedna i to:
- Qualifying finals - igra se prvi tjedan, a tvore ga četiri para:
- QF4 - prvi protiv osmog
- QF3 - drugi protiv sedmog
- QF2 - treći protiv šestog
- QF1 - četvrti protiv petog
- dva pobjednika susreta Qualifying Finals s najboljom pozicijom iz ligškog dijela idu u susrete trećeg tjedna (Preliminary Finals), a dva gubitnika s najgorom pozicijom iz ligaškog dijela bivaju eliminirani. Ostala dva pobjednika i dva gubitnika susreta Qualifying Finals idu u susrete drugog tjedna - Semi Finals
- Semi Finals - susreti drugog tjedna doigravanja, a čine ga dva para klubova iz Qualifying Finals
- SF1 - četvrto rangirani pobjednik protiv drugo rangiranog gubitnika
- SF2 - trećerangirani pobjednik protiv prvo rangiranog gubitnika
- Pobjednici susreta Semi Finals idu u susrete trećeg tjedna Preliminary Finals
- Preliminary Finals - susreti trećeg tjedna, čine ga dva para
- Prvo rangirani pobjednik Qualifying Finals protiv pobjednika SF1
- Drugo rangirani pobjednik Qualifying Finals protiv pobjednika SF2
- Pobjednici idu u veliko finale (Grand Finals), a poraženi su eliminirani
- Grand Final - veliko finale, igraju ga pobjednici susreta Semi Finals
Iznimka od ovog sustava je bila sezona 1998., kada je 10 klubova sudjelovalo u doigravanju, a između Preliminary Finals (koju su također činila dva para i Grand Final je bila runda Finals (dva para, pobjednici Preliminary Finals i dvanajbolje rangirana pobjednika Semi Finals koji je imao četiri para).
