Our mission is to develop the international sport, stage World Cups which crown the World Champions, deliver commercial value, grow audiences, participation and talent development with consistency of Laws and Integrity and to focus development on targeted markets.
A great deal of work has been done and excellent progress made towards delivering the targets of our Strategic Plan, Global Conversion, and the next stage of our development is to recruit a new Independent Chair and two Independent Directors to our Board. Collectively, the Board will lead the drive to fully meet our objectives and set new targets for 2025 and beyond.
The Chair and Directors will need to harness the collective skills of the Board and Executive to ensure all stakeholders are represented and our objectives are fulfilled. For all roles we are seeking candidates who are able to display the highest standards of integrity and uphold the values of the RLIF and the sport of Rugby League, add significant value to the Board and our sport as a whole.

As an inclusive sport, we welcome applications from suitably qualified candidates from under-represented sections of the community whether based on gender, ethnicity, disability or other criteria.
A passion for sport, an understanding of international sport and the opportunities and challenges facing sports organizations will be an advantage and candidates with specific expertise in finance/audit; international sports development and/or major events; commercial strategy; marketing and digital strategy are particularly of interest.
