In 1907 The Welsh Northern Union was formed in [[Wrexham]], but the [[Northern Union]] refused it affiliation as they wanted the body located in the south of Wales and the WNU soon folded. In 1926 The RFL formed a Welsh commission in an attempt to convert [[rugby union]] clubs to rugby league. The Wales Rugby League achieved governing body status in 2005 and employed its first professional chairman, Mark Rowley, in 2006. ==See also== * [[Rugby Football League]] * [[British Amateur Rugby League Association]] * [[Wales national rugby league team]] * [[Rugby league in Wales]] * [[Rugby League National Leagues]] * [[Rugby League Conference]] ==External links== * [http://www.therfl.co.uk/ Rugby Football League official website] * [http://www.walesrugbyleague.org Wales Rugby League] * [http://www.cymrurl.com/history.html Cymru Rugby League] [[Category:Sports governing bodies in Wales|Rugby league]] [[Category:Rugby league governing bodies]] [[Category:Rugby league in Wales]] {{Rugby League Wales links}} {{British Rugby League links}} {{Rugby League in Europe}} {{International Rugby League}} {{Wales-stub}} {{rugbyLeague-stub}} {{UK-org-stub}} {{sports-org-stub}}
