In 1998, the first formally structured domestic competition was launched by the newly established governing body Super League America, which later became the United States Rugby League (USRL) and then the American National Rugby League (AMNRL). It was an amateur organization and the main driving force behind it was former St George Dragons (Sydney) player David Niu.
