Become a Founding Partner in the Next Great Sports Platform.

The NRFL is transforming rugby into a mainstream American property — built on elite athletes, global fandom, and media-first IP. This is more than a league. It’s a movement, a business, and a long-term commercial opportunity.

The NRFL Founders Group — Equity. Access. Legacy.

Join the NRFL Founders Group and become part of the visionary ownership team bringing the largest tackle sport in the world to the American mainstream. Investors receive equity ownership in the first eight NRFL teams — plus access to high-growth league properties, including;

  • NRFL Studios (original media & storytelling)

  • NRFL High-Performance Center (elite athlete development)

  • NRFL Showcase Series (national competition platform)

  • Rolling Maul Media (internal digital and brand agency)

Founders Group members unlock the upside of professional sports ownership without the operational risk of managing individual teams. This is your change to shape a generational property and cement your legacy as a founding partner in rugby’s breakout moment.

A Legacy Built on Ownership. A Future Built on Vision.

 

A Plan That’s Proven. A Product Built to Scale.

Other rugby ventures in the U.S. failed to break beyond niche audiences. The NRFL is built differently. We’ve spent a decade validating the market, proving demand, and building world-class infrastructure. Now, we’re scaling a product that’s:

  • Modern — premium U.S. style sports production

  • Inclusive — athletes and fans from across cultures

  • Transparent — investor-aligned ownership structure

  • Innovative — a media-first, entertainment-driven league

With America set to host the 2031 Men’s Rugby World Cup and 2033 Women’s Rugby World Cup, the timing couldn’t be better. The world is watching. The market is ready. The moment is now.

Rugby Revolution.

The NRFL is engineering the most exciting, high-octane rugby league in the world — built for U.S. audiences, powered by global talent, and optimized for storytelling.

Through our High-Performance System, we’re combining elite international players with next-generation American crossover athletes, including NFL-caliber talent, to create an on-field product that’s fast, physical, and undeniably marketable.

These “stand up moments” aren’t just game highlights — they’re media assets, marketing engines, and fan entry points into a new sports movement. This is rugby reimagined for the American stage — cinematic, competitive, and commercially scalable.

Engineered for Scale. Designed for Impact.

The NRFL is structured to generate diversified, recurring revenue — blending elite competition with owned media, technology, commerce, and experiences. Every component is intentionally built to monetize athlete access, fan engagement, and content across digital and physical touchpoints.

This is a fully integrated sports property — powered by IP, built for engagement, and structured for long-term enterprise value.

  • From grassroots to elite, these programs develop athletes and activate local fan bases.

  • Serialized docuseries, behind-the-scenes, and IP creation via NRFL Studios

  • Fantasy, mobile games, and virtual integrations to drive daily engagement.

  • Apparel, accessories, collectibles, and co-branded partnerships.

  • NFTs, blockchain collectibles, and Web3-powered fan access.

  • Category exclusives, branded content, and in-game media assets.

  • NRFL Showcase Series and game day experiences fusing sport and culture.

  • Custom platforms and tech partnerships that deliver immersive fan engagement, data-driven experiences, and scalable digital monetization tools.

“Sports history doesn’t just happen. It’s created by a few willing to step in early, think bigger, and build what others don’t yet see.”

— Steve Ryan, Managing Director, NRFL
