'''Wales Rugby League''' is the [[Sports governing body|governing body]] for [[rugby league]] in [[Wales]].
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.
