History

Founded in 2018, the California Rugby League wanted to bring a sport to California that had only had amateur clubs and exhibition games. [1] On December 7, 2019, the CRL was scheduled to have their first set of matches; between Sacramento and Santa Rosa, and the Los Angeles Mongrel and San Francisco Savage; at Boxer Stadium in San Francisco. San Francisco defeated Los Angeles 60–10. After the withdrawal of Santa Rosa, San Francisco 2 played Sacramento to a 22–22 draw. The matches were played with an attendance of approximately 500 people.

After a months-long hiatus due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Sacramento defeated East Palo Alto 20-14 in Sacramento on Christmas Day 2020 with fans following social distancing protocols. California Rugby League plans to continue play in January 2021. [2]
