NRL 2019 kicks off
The NRL 2019 season is here and with NRL tickets you can see all the action live from the stands. The 2018 regular season has finished and saw the Sydney Roosters win the Premiership, their 21st in total.
The NRL is Australia's top rugby-league club competition and has existed in some format since 1908. However, the NRL as we know it today was formed in 1997 in the aftermath of the 1990s Super League War. Culminating in the NRL Grand Final, one of the most-attended games in the world, the champions then play in the World Club Challenge against the winners of the European Super League competition. With so many matches to choose from, as well as teams, you are truly spoiled for choice. Get your NRL 2019 tickets here at StubHub and cheer on your team from the stands.
