Rugby League originated in the north of England.

In 1886, the Rugby Football Union introduced strict amateur-only rules to combat the dominance of the game by working class northern clubs.

In 1895, 21 rugby clubs from Lancashire and Yorkshire meet in Huddersfield and form the breakaway Northern Rugby Football Union.
