History

Bosnia participated in the Balkans Cup competition in 2014. But their matches weren't rated as official international matches as the national association has yet to apply for RLEF membership. [1] They won their first "Unofficial" match against Hungary by 32-6 in the Third Place play off match of the 2014 Balkans Cup tournament. [2]

In January 2018, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Rugby League Association was founded in Vitez. [3] In May 2018, the Rugby League European Federation awarded it observer status. [4]
