In England there are eleven divisions (3 Premier: North, Midlands, South; and 8 Regional: North, North East, Cheshire, Yorkshire, North Midlands & South Yorkshire, South West & West Midlands, Central & East, South East) and in Wales there are two divisions (East and West).

Aims

The aim of the RLC is to provide regular fixture for new clubs based outside the 'heartland' of rugby league, although as the standards have raised it now also accepts teams from the 'heartlands'. The hope is that at least some of these clubs will eventually progress to become semi-professional clubs that could one day join the 'traditional' clubs in the national leagues. Several former RLC teams are now in National League Three whilst London Skolars have progressed far enough to now play in National League Two.

Foundation

The Conference was founded in 1998 with 14 teams, it grew out of the Southern Conference League (a 10 team pilot league in 1997), which itself grew out of the remnants of the by then defunct Midlands and South West Amateur Rugby League (MASWARLA), including some teams that were temporarily playing in the EMARLA (East Midland League), and some of the top teams in the London Amateur Rugby League, with one team (West London) being a joint venture between two LARL clubs and the first ever cross code club Bedford Swifts. The EMARLA and the NEARLA (North East League) were eventually absorbed, with the latter giving teams to the Northern Rugby League Summer Conference, which existed for 2000 before being incorporated into the Rugby League Conference. The best on the LARL was gradually included, with the rest reforming as a summer merit league for new clubs, police/prison sides and second teams(and third on occasions).

Confusingly, the top (winter) league administered by BARLA is also titled conference: the National Conference League. Although many of the clubs are affiliated to BARLA, the RLC is run, not by them, but by the Rugby Football League.

Since 2005 there has been a competition called the RLC Premier which consists of four regional based divisions: North, Midlands (formerly Central), South and Wales. The North, Midlands and South divisions each feature the strongest teams in those areas whereas the Welsh Conference has two equal, regionally split divisions.

Season and playoff format

The top two teams in each Welsh division will enter the semifinals to determine the Welsh champions. Each of the three English Premier Divisions will feature a top three playoff series to determine the winner, each of whom will join the Welsh champion in the Harry Jepson Trophy semi finals.
