The New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL), a privately owned Australian organization founded in 1907, governs rugby league in New South Wales. Initially known as the New South Wales Rugby Football League (NSWRFL) until 1984, the NSWRL operated the top-level rugby league club competition in Sydney, then New South Wales, and later Australia from 1908 to 1994. As of 2023, the NSWRL employs approximately 130 people and currently administers several competitions, including those for men and women at various levels, contributing to the development of rugby league talent. The NSWRL also manages the representative teams Brydens Lawyers NSW Blues and Harvey Norman Sky Blues. It is a member of the Australian Rugby League Commission.
NSW Rugby League received Gold Tier Status at the annual Pride in Sport Awards in Melbourne on April 16, 2025, for its inclusivity initiatives. This follows a Bronze Tier award in 2024. The organization also extended its partnership with the Institute of Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH), continuing the Deadly Blues program which has provided health checks and well-being information to over 25,000 First Nations people in NSW over the past six years. NSW Rugby League provided support for an unnamed initiative flagged in the previous year.
