The RFL began as a locally organized group of Liberty City football clubs in 1920 who wanted to organize a competition among themselves. By 1925, the RFL became an national competition when two of its member footballs clubs relocated to other cities in Rizealand. In 1935, the RFL converted its member clubs into franchises, formed two conferences for its teams, and instituted the modern format of having a regular season and post-season playoff culminating in a championship game. In 1960, the RFL expanded from 8 to 12 teams and held the first Super Cup. After the [[2000 RFL Millennium Expansion]], the RFL grew to 16 teams. It is the most popular sporting league in Rizealand with an average annual attendance of 33,801 and the Super Cup is the largest and most watched sporting event in Rizealand. The RFL also has some of the most valuable sporting teams in the country, making it the wealthiest sporting league in Rizealand.
