Rugby league is a sport played in Wales. The governing body of the game in Wales is the Wales Rugby League.

There is a long but sporadic history of rugby league in Wales (Welsh: rygbi'r gynghrair). Over the decades hundreds of Welsh players have played for the leading English clubs. Consequently, the national side, nicknamed the Dragons, have often been a very strong force in the international game.
