The American National Rugby League (AMNRL) is a rugby league football competition for semi-professional clubs in the United States. Formed in 2001 (formerly Super League America founded in 1995, USRL in 2000), it is the United States' first domestic rugby league competition. It is recognized as the governing body for the sport by the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF), and oversees the United States national rugby league team.
The competition that became the AMNRL was established in 1997, with six teams competing in the first season the following year. It grew to eleven by 2010, with future plans for westward expansion. On January 12, 2011, seven teams announced they were departing the AMNRL to for the new USA Rugby League.^[1]
