The Women's Rugby League European Championship is an international rugby league football tournament for European national teams first held in 2022.
History
[edit]The creation of Women's Rugby League European Championships was announced by the ERL in May 2022 with the inaugural edition taking place between June and October the same year,[1] 87 years after the creation of the men's version of the tournament. The tournament would consist of an A and B league with promotion and relegation between them, as the men's tournament has done since 2020. The inaugural edition however, did not feature an A league as A tier countries were competing is the 2021 Women's Rugby League World Cup delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022 B league was divided into two groups, a North and South group, which were won by Wales[2][3] and Greece[4] respectively.
