Welcome to the NLD RFU

As well as administering the game, organising competitions & leagues, and fielding representative teams, the NLD actively promotes:

  • Increasing the participation of mini and junior players from all backgrounds
  • Driving the growth of women’s and girl’s rugby
  • Improving the quality of coaching, refereeing and medical provision
  • Ensuring the highest standards of safe-guarding and governance
  • Adoption of rugby’s Core Values
