British Rugby League Hall of Fame

British Rugby League Hall of Fame

The British Rugby League Hall of Fame was established by the Rugby Football League in 1988 to commemorate the greatest ever players in British rugby league. Players must have been retired for at least five years to be eligible; they must also have played at least ten years within the British game.

Initially nine players were inducted when the Hall of Fame was opened; one more was announced in 1989. There were no new inductees until 2000, when three more players were introduced as part of the build up to the 2000 Rugby League World Cup. A further four players were inducted in 2005.

The Hall of Fame is now located in the Rugby League Heritage Centre in the George Hotel, Huddersfield.
