Rugby Football League is a team sport played primarily in England, where two teams compete to score points by carrying, passing, or kicking an oval ball. Each team consists of thirteen players, and the game is played on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. Points can be scored through tries, conversions, and penalty goals. The sport originated in the late 19th century as a split from Rugby Union, focusing on a faster-paced game with fewer players. Rugby League is known for its unique rules, including the six-tackle rule, which limits the number of tackles a team can make before handing over possession.
