Jan 2022 - Present
2021 commemorates the 25th anniversary of the first-ever Great Britain Women’s Rugby League ‘Lionesses’ tour to Australia in 1996, the start of international women’s rugby league. In 2022 the rescheduled Women’s Rugby League World Cup will be played in northern England for the first time since 2013. There has never been a better time to uncover, document and celebrate the history of the pioneering sports women who challenged rugby’s traditional male supremacy, and paved the way for thousands of girls and young women to play the game today.The 'Women in Rugby League' project will recover and record the forgotten history for women's rugby league, creating a platform to educate young women and girls about the diverse female role-models who pioneered rugby league, enabling them to gain new skills and motivational experiences.Women in Rugby League engages and empowers women inside and outside of rugby league to deliver a programme of activities that will not only raise the profile of the history of the women’s game but will celebrate the achievements of women involved in Rugby League and use the stories of rugby’s women pioneers to inspire this and the next generations.
