The New South Wales Rugby League, or NSWRL, is the body that operates rugby league football competitions in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, and it is a member of the Australian Rugby League Commission. The company was registered on 21 December 1983 and succeeded the New South Wales Rugby Football League, which was formed in Sydney on 8 August 1907 after a breakaway from the rugby union over compensation for injured players. Under its earlier name it ran the premier club competition for Sydney, then New South Wales and then Australia from 1908 to 1994. Today it administers the New South Wales team that plays State of Origin and the state level competitions that sit beneath the National Rugby League.
