Formed in 2003, the NNRLB are developing and promoting the game of rugby league in The Netherlands. The NNRLB are now recognised as the governing body for Rugby League in The Netherlands. Rugby League was first played in the Netherlands in 2003 when two Netherlands sides hosted two national touring sides from Scotland. The first 13-a-side club game of Rugby League was also played in 2003 with Den Haag side Te Werve hosting Essex Eels. Also during 2003 a Zuid Holland representative side played in the York 9''s. Their first entry into major competitions was in 2005 when The Netherlands entered the Rugby League European Nations Cup for the first time, losing to Georgia 34 14 but beating Serbia 26 10. The Netherlands competed in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup qualifying competition alongside Russia, Georgia and Serbia. The team lost to Russia and Georgia before beating Serbia to come third in the group. The third-place finish was not enough to see The Netherlands progress in the competition.
