Masters Rugby League is a derivative of rugby league for a wide age range of older, semi-retired and non-competitive players and officials.[1] Masters Rugby League started in Brisbane Australia (South East Queensland Masters Rugby League inc which is still played today) and New Zealand in 1992 and has since grown in popularity, spreading to Australia and more recently to the United Kingdom & Canada [2]
