Major League Rugby History
Major League Rugby (MLR) was founded in 2017 in a bid to promote rugby union in North America. The inaugural season kicked off in April 2018, featuring seven teams primarily located in the United States, with the aim of establishing a professional rugby league that could thrive amid growing interest in the sport. The league was initially modeled after the successful structure of professional leagues in other sports, focusing on building a sustainable, competitive environment. MLR has seen rapid growth, expanding to include teams from various cities across the U.S. and Canada, as well as increasing fan engagement through community events and partnerships with local organizations. Over the years, MLR began attracting international talent, infusing the league with a mixture of both rising stars and seasoned players seeking opportunities in a burgeoning rugby market. As rugby's popularity grew in the U.S., MLR became a critical player in its development, blending traditional rugby culture with the American sports experience.
