The Imperial Rugby League Board was formed in 1927.[1]
The Rugby Football League's international authority in the sport was supported by having a majority of the representatives on the Board.[1] The RFL had three representatives while Australia and New Zealand each had one.[2] According to Collins (2000), the imbalanced voting rights were a result of the RFL being the representative for the "mother country" and the other members being keen to demonstrate their loyalty to the Crown.[1]
