The Student Rugby League was founded in 1967 when a rugby league team was created at Leeds University by Andrew Cudbertson, Jack Abernathy and Cec Thompson, other teams soon joined in areas of the United Kingdom which lay outside of the games traditional heartlands. The first university game was between Leeds and Liverpool in 1968. A year later the Universities and Colleges Rugby League was formed after student pioneers fought hard to get the sport recognised in higher education. The elite Super 8 competition was formed as the Super 6 in 2008. This then became the Premier League and in 2013, Premier North & South. Student Rugby League Pyramid
