Rugby League In Canada
Rugby league football is a participation and spectator sport in Canada. The sport was introduced to Canada in the 20th century, but historically has been less popular than rugby union and domestic sports such as ice hockey, Canadian football, baseball, and basketball. However, the formation of a national team in the late 20th century and the start of an amateur domestic competition have seen the sport grow.
