The National Ringette League (NRL), (French: Ligue Nationale de Ringuette, LNR), is the premier sports league for the sport of ringette in North America and Canada's national league for elite ringette players aged 18+. All of the NRL's elite athletes are women, one of ringette's distinctive features and therefore the NRL is not a feminized version of a more well-known men's sport or league such as professional women's ice hockey. The NRL is semi-professional and operates as a showcase league for ringette in North America. It is the continent's first and only winter team sports league whose entire elite athlete roster involves players who are women rather than men and is not a subsidiary of a men's league. The NRL was founded in 2002 and began play the following year with November 2004 marking its official inaugural season. Players are selected from the league to help form Canada's national ringette teams. Today, some NRL games are livestreamed on YouTube.
