NRL (National Rugby League)

The National Rugby League (NRL) is Australia’s premier professional rugby league competition, featuring teams predominantly from New South Wales and Queensland. It is a fast-paced, highly physical sport where two teams of 13 players compete to score points by carrying or kicking the ball over the opponent's try line. The league operates annually, culminating in a finals series and the Grand Final to determine the champion. The NRL combines strategic team play, skill, and athleticism, and is widely followed for its intense matches and rich history in Australian sport culture.
