The Workers' Youth League is Norway's largest political youth organization and is affiliated with the Norwegian Labour Party.
The Young Communist League of Norway was until April 2006 the youth league of Norges Kommunistiske Parti (NKP). 1 April 2006 NKP declared that NKU was no longer its youth organization, and that all youths interested in joining the movement should contact the party directly. NKU still persisted as an organization, however, and held a congress in the middle of May 2006, where it declared its wish to cooperate with NKP, but also to continue on its own if necessary. At the same time NKP organized a conference of their own, where they established a new youth organization for the party, with the same name and logo as the original NKU. This has led to a conflict over the rights to the name, logo, history, international contacts and property of NKU, which lasted until July 2008. The conflict ended in court, where both NKU and NKP was found responsible for the problems that had arisen. However, it was decided that NKU still had the right to their name and logo. Therefore, NKP's re-established version of the Youth League, which had taken up several new members since 2006 had to change its name from Young Communist League of Norway to Youth Communists in Norway and also change their logo. UngKom took over for NKU as NKP's youth league and view themselves as an incarnation of NKU.
