Reserve Leagues
- Rugby League Reserve Team Championship
- Rugby League Reserve Team First Division
The Rugby League Reserve Team Championship is a competition for the reserve teams of the British based Super League clubs. Having a reserve team is a compulsory part of the minimum criteria to hold a Super League license, but Catalans Dragons have dispensation to run their reserve team in the French Elite League for logistical reasons. The reserve championship has been replaced by an Under 20 competition.
The Rugby League Reserve Team First Division is a competition for the reserve teams of Co-Operative Championship clubs, although there is no longer an obligation for clubs in the Championship to enter a reserve team. This is now an Under 23 competition featuring just six sides in 2012.
Some of other teams in the professional ranks have run reserve teams in the Rugby League Conference or Gillette National Youth League.

Famous quotes containing the words reserve and/or leagues:
“I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away.”
—Chinese proverb.
