The National Team
Main Article: Georgia national rugby league team
The Georgia national rugby league team represented Georgia in international rugby league tournaments. The national squad was entirely from Georgian based rugby union players. Despite there having been no domestic rugby league the team attracted relatively large crowds for international matches, in the range of 10,000 spectators. However, they were expelled from the 2008 Rugby League World Cup qualifiers for forfeiting a game in Russia, due to their players playing rugby union at the time and subsequently stopped playing the game and were expelled from the Rugby League International Federation and Rugby League European Federation.
