NRL South Australia (abbreviated as NRLSA, formerly the South Australian Rugby League) is a not-for-profit organisation responsible for administering the game of rugby league in the state of South Australia. It was formed on 28 July 1976[2] and is an affiliated state of the Australian Rugby League Commission.

History

[edit]

In the 1940s the Port Adelaide rugby union club split itself into four rugby league clubs, which formed the basis of the first organised rugby league competition in the state, run under the banner of the Amateur South Australian Rugby League.[2] The first South Australian representative team was formed in the early 1950s and traveled to play the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Sydney, NSW where they lost 45–10.[2]

The first iteration of the South Australian Rugby League was created in the 1950s when Australian soldiers formed a small four team competition based out of the Woomera Test Range. This body ceased to exist when the soldiers were transferred to the Northern Territory.[2]

The current SARL was incorporated on 28 July 1976 and originally featured teams from Northern Districts, South Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Glenelg, Norwood and West Lakes.[2]

Today the competition features eight senior clubs and seven junior clubs, competitions are run from Under 7's through to First Grade.

Premiership history

[edit]
Adelaide Rugby League History
  • The 2005 Grand Final was contested between Eels and Central Districts at Hanson Reserve, Adelaide on 21 August 2005. The Eels won 22–18.
  • In 2006 the SARL celebrated its 30th anniversary with the Tigers Rugby League Club securing both the Reserve and First Grade premierships, as well as coming runners-up in the Under 18 competition, losing to the Aberfoyle Dragons Under 18 outfit.
  • In 2009 the Aberfoyle Dragons beat the Tigers Rugby League club in a dirty match, winning 34–6 with a man down due to a fight near half time. This was also the first time a team had won the premiership two times in a row.
  • In 2009 the competition saw the return of reserve grade in a modified version called "Senior 11's." All clubs had 11 aside, 5 metre line and scorer defends at the restart. It brought many ex players back to clubs and has promoted many debutants an avenue to play the game. The Roosters adapted to the modified rules and pace of the game and went undefeated in the 2009 season to see the Cougars in the grand final under lights at Hindmarsh. Although it started out a grind, the Roosters took control, leaving the Cougars behind 54–20. In the A-grade grand final the Eels beat South Adelaide in a close match with the final try being scored in the last forty seconds of the match.
  • During the 2010 season the Tier A High Schools competition is held with U-15's & U-18's playing in round robin matches stretching approximately 12 weeks. Gawler High School took the U-18's grand final against the champions for the last seven years in Aberfoyle Park. The Gawler region has been a feeder to the local club the Roosters. In the Senior 11's the Eels went undefeated all year to take out the premiership and the A-grade Eels went on to be both Minor and overall Premiers.
  • The 2012 Sports Centre Cup Division 1 Grand Final was won by Central Districts Roosters in an epic battle against Northern Districts Dragons at Hindmarsh Stadium. In the same year, Cougars won the Sports Centre Cup Division 2 Grand Final against Eels.

Spencer Gulf Rugby League

[edit]

NRL SA has previously run competitions in the Spencer Gulf region, but the future of these competitions remains unclear as of 2022.

The Olympic Dam Barbarians based in Roxby Downs have played in various formats including intra club and in the Spencer Gulf competition. There have also been efforts to establish the presence of the game in areas including Coober Pedy, however there remains little competitive Rugby League in Northern SA.
