The Asia-Pacific Rugby League Federation (APRLF) is an umbrella body for nations playing the sport of rugby league football in the Southern Hemisphere.[2] The Federation aims to act as a counterpart to the Rugby League European Federation. The formation of the APRLF was agreed at the Rugby League International Federation's annual general meeting in May 2010.[3] The Federation was established with 7 founding full members.[1] The APRLF is based at the New Zealand Rugby League's Auckland headquarters and will focus much of its efforts on developing the sport in the Pacific Islands.[1] Under the new RLIF constitution agreed in 2010, the APRLF may appoint a delegate to the five-person International Federation executive.[3]
