The Rockhampton District Rugby League (RDRL) is the administrative body for the game of rugby league football in Rockhampton, Queensland. Formed in 1918 and a part of the Queensland Rugby League's Central Division, the RDRL runs senior, junior and women's club competitions and has its headquarters at Browne Park. The competition changed its name to Rockhampton Senior Local Rugby League in 2018.[1]

Representative Team

Rockhampton is represented by the Central Queensland Capras, who compete in the Queensland Rugby League's statewide Queensland Cup competition, and are an affiliate of National Rugby League club Dolphins.[2]

The local leaue's representative team is the Rockhampton Rustlers who participate in QRL Carnivals and events. The team formerly competed in the Winfield State League before the advent of the Capras and the Queensland Cup and won the competition in 1995 over the Gold Coast Vikings 26–22.

Rockhampton Senior Local Rugby League
