Game-Changing Investment: NSW Rugby League Ltd Secures $85M to Propel NRL's Community Impact and Digital Future

NSW Rugby League Ltd is proud to announce a major milestone in its journey as it successfully raised $85,000,000 in fresh funding. This remarkable achievement underlines the confidence that stakeholders, fans, and the broader community have in the National Rugby League (NRL), the world’s premier rugby league competition run by the Australian Rugby League Commission. The newly secured capital will be pivotal in bolstering our longstanding commitment to excellence on and off the field. With this significant investment, we aim to enhance the administration of iconic events such as the Telstra Premiership, Holden Women's Premiership, State of Origin series, and various international competitions featuring the Australian Kangaroos and Jillaroos. Moreover, the funding will drive our continued efforts in boosting grassroots participation, which has already witnessed record numbers, including a noteworthy surge in female involvement in 2017. This infusion of resources enables us to further our mission to have more people playing and watching the game, echoing our core beliefs of inclusivity, positivity, unity, and discipline. The investment will also accelerate our innovative projects, including the eagerly anticipated launch of the NRL Digital Network, providing fans unprecedented access to immersive experiences and exclusive content. Beyond entertainment, we remain deeply committed to our community outreach programs like School to Work, State of Mind, and In League in Harmony, which have been highly acclaimed across Australia. This funding marks a new era of growth, ensuring that our legacy continues to inspire passion for rugby league while creating sustainable opportunities for athletes and fans alike.
