About us

Published quarterly the “Rugby League Journal” brings you high quality literature on Rugby League. If you enjoy the nostalgia of looking back on the game you used to know, its players, teams and famous events, with every issue illustrated with a wonderful collection of old black and white photographs all printed on glossy art paper, the “Rugby League Journal” is for you.

Mixed with in-depth analysis and comment on current affairs in the world of Rugby League from writers with vast experience in the game, every issue of the “Rugby League Journal” provides a hugely enjoyable mix of history, memorabilia and comment.

The “Journal” is different to other publications – it stands up for Rugby League in its heartlands and reflects the views of those involved with its grassroots at BARLA and semi-pro level.

The “Journal” is published by Harry Edgar, the founder of the original “Open Rugby”  and is seen as the original spirit of that pioneering magazine.

Ruth Edgar is in charge of sales and subscriptions, and regular contributors to “Rugby League Journal” include such vastly experienced writers as Mike Rylance, former “Guardian” correspondent Paul Fitzpatrick and Australia’s most respected Rugby League writer Ian Heads.

In addition to publishing four issues per year of the “Rugby League Journal” we also produce the hugely popular “Rugby League Journal Annual” in November – the best value book you will find and perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to forget the game they used to know.
