European Rugby League, a privately owned entity based in the United Kingdom, was founded in 2003 and operates with approximately 20 employees. The organization functions as a confederation for the sport of Rugby League, overseeing and coordinating its development across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North and Central America, and the Caribbean. Its activities include managing and developing the sport in all member, affiliate, and observer countries and territories within its operational scope.
European Rugby League recently announced the match officials squad for the upcoming European Under 19s Championship, scheduled for next month at the CREPS Font Romeu high performance facility. The tournament will also integrate a "match officials booster" project for technical education and development, supported by International Rugby League, as confirmed on June 24, 2026. This development follows the USA Rugby League management's withdrawal from the U19s Championship in France in July due to issues beyond their control, a decision European Rugby League accepted without penalty on April 6, 2026. Previously, on December 15, 2025, the U19s Championship had expanded to include 10 nations. Earlier, European Rugby League revealed on November 4, 2025, that its Annual Council Meeting on November 22 would discuss a proposal to move the organization's headquarters to France, seeking access to greater funding following an agreement at the previous year's meeting to analyze EU relocation options. On September 10, 2025, Scotland and Ireland prepared for the 2026 Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup in Australia by competing in a senior international for world ranking points on October 18 at the Oriam Performance Centre in Edinburgh.
