[edit] History

The first Rugby League competition in Darwin took place in 1941. This competition comprised of servicemen stationed in Darwin during World War 2. The competition was suspended following the Japanese air raids on February 19, 1942 and did not recommence until 1943.

The game was not played on an organised basis after servicemen left the city at the end of the war until the formation of the Northern Territory Rugby Football League Association in 1950. The newly formed association's first game was held on January 14, 1951. Rugby League in the Northern Territory is being played at Richardson Park.

The Northern Territory competed in the Amco Cup in 1977, 1978 and 1987.
