International Rugby League (IRL) is a privately owned organization founded in 1927 and headquartered in the UK. Employing approximately 20 people as of 2023, its primary function is the governance of rugby league football internationally.
International Rugby League reclassified the Federation Marocaine de Rugby League (Morocco) and Rugby Futbol League 13 de Chile (Chile) from Affiliate to Observer Members on an unspecified date, due to non-compliance with membership policy. The 2024 Annual Report highlighted a global increase in senior international matches across more countries than in previous non-World Cup years. Papua New Guinea, France, and Wales were named priority nations, along with an unnamed African country, and will receive significant funding. This funding will support national strategies developed in partnership with each federation. The selection of Wales as a priority nation was welcomed by the Welsh federation. Finally, New Zealand will participate in the 2026 Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup in Australia, joining Australia, England, France, Wales, and the United States.
