High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rugby league is a popular team sport in Papua New Guinea, and is indeed regarded as the national sport. Papua New Guinean rugby league has been hampered by the poor infrastructure in the country, and national competitions have proven difficult to sustain. Violence at large games has also become something of a problem, and the major Test nations have tended to be reluctant to tour Papua New Guinea due to safety concerns. Nonetheless rugby league remains the dominant sport, and is played across the nation, with competitions in major cities and rural regions alike. Papua New Guinea first came into contact during the gold rush in the 1930s through Australian miners. Australian soldiers stationed in the country during and after the Second World War reintroduced the sport and in 1949 the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League was founded. It quickly became a popular spectator sport.
