The North Wales League was a proposed summer rugby league competition that was attempted to be set up in 2010. It was to be a feeder competition for the Rugby League Conference. It was set up by the Wales Rugby League in part due to increased interest in the sport based on Crusaders relocating to Wrexham FC's Racecourse Ground.

There was intended to be four teams for the initial season: Conwy Celts established 2007 (based at Colwyn Bay); two new sides: Penrhyn Eagles (from Bangor, where there was already a university club) and Mid Wales Marauders (based in Welshpool, the only rugby league club in mid Wales) and Rhyl Exiles, who while technically a new club were formed from the ashes of recently disbanded club Rhyl Coasters. They won the North Wales 9s but pulled out of the league. Chester Gladiators A were proposed as replacements but in the end the season was cancelled.

There will be no open age league in North Wales in 2011 though Montgomeryshire Marauders will run an open age team playing friendlies, there will be a North Wales Crusaders team in the Conference Youth League. There will also be an Under 11s league comprising three teams: Montgomeryshire Marauders, Flintshire Falcons and Wrexham Raiders [1].
