    Foundation Year - 2007

     

    International Team - Sweden Rugby League

     

    Top level domestic competition - N/A

     

    History - Sweden is a new rugby league playing nation and continues the trend of European nations taking up the sport.

     

    Sweden Rugby League is at the very early stage of development. It is planned to introduce rugby league into schools in the near future.

     

    In early 2007 Sweden officially launched the Sweden Rugby League website.

     

    In 2007 and 2008 Sweden were unranked in European rankings but awarded official observer status by the Rugby League European Federation (RLEF).

     

    In early 2009 Sweden were unranked in world rankings but were awarded official observer status by the Rugby League International Federation.

     

    In new developments for Swedish Rugby League a team from Gothemburg has agreed to join the Norwegian competition due to kick-off in 2009 until the popularity of league grows in Sweden and Sweden can start their own competition.

     

    The recent success of the Rugby League World Cup will provide further funds to develop the sport throughout Europe. The Rugby League European Federation (RLEF) will now have more funds to invest in development officers and continue assisting rugby league's growth. With the right support nations like Sweden could take the next step and setup a local top level rugby league competition.
