In 2011, South African Rugby League instituted a new constitution which saw the countries first national league since the apartheid ban – the Rhino Cup.[3] A year later, South Africa bid to host the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.[4][5] They lost out to a joint bid from Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea, though received formal praise for the country's development of the sport, particularly for the growth of their domestic game.[6]
In 2024, South Africa Rugby League bid to host the 2028 Women's and 2030 Men's Rugby League World Cup.[7] The body estimated a R4 billion boost to the South African economy by hosting the 2030 event.[8] They also made an unsuccessful bid to host the 2025 World Series which would have been part of the qualification process for the 2026 World Cup.[9][10]
