ABOUT US
Belfast Eagles RLFC is a new Rugby League Club for Mini and Mod, in fact its the only Rugby League Club in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. We will run the season for 10 weeks during the summer holidays, while Rugby Union is on their season break, so it won't interfere with that.
We are currently recruiting for Boys and Girls from Primary 1 to Under 16's for our upcoming season starting on Sunday 5th June 2024 at Shaw's Bridge Sport's Association, Milltown Road Belfast.

WHAT IS RUGBY LEAGUE?
Rugby League is lightning-fast and full contact rugby. Not for the faint of heart, this brand of rugby ranks among the most physically demanding and punishing sports in the world. Rugby League emphasises speed and momentum, using a Play-the-Ball system to keep matches fluid.
This is one of the rule changes that represent the philosophy of Rugby League, which split from Rugby Union in 1895 over the lack of payment to players who were forced to miss work to compete. The rules for the League continued to evolve after the split, including the elimination of flankers and line-outs, resulting in a faster, more relentless rugby.
In Rugby League, powerful athletes are locked in combat for two 40-minute halves to accumulate more points than the adversary, utilising on-the-fly strategy at breakneck speeds to avoid brutal defensive tackling. Grounding the ball in the opponent’s end earns a four-point ‘Try’ with the opportunity to kick for two extra points. Penalty kicks score two points while field goals are worth one point.
