The Association of Rugby League Clubs (Russian: Ассоциация Регбилиг Клубов) is the governing body for rugby league in Russia. The association was formed in 2010, bringing together amateur clubs and regional RRLF clubs after the expulsion of the Russian Rugby League Federation and essentially rugby league itself by the Order of the Ministry of Tourism RUSSIA № 21 from State Register of Sports of Russia.[1]

History
editAfter the turmoil of the RRLF losing clubs and players after "the crisis of 2009-2010", Edward Taturian split from the previous body and formed the "Association of Rugby League Clubs" (ARLC). After no clear framework or competition was introduced by the RRLF in 2010, the ARLC conducted regional league of "North-West", "Center" and "South" all originally consisting of 6 teams each. The following year it was inducted into the "SNNVS Russia" and followed with becoming a full-member of the Rugby League European Federation on the 22 February 2013 and the Rugby League International Federation on the 8 August 2013.[citation needed]
In March 2022, the body had its membership with the IRL and ERL suspended due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2] In March 2024, while still being suspended, the body was downgraded to affiliate member due to noncompliance with the full membership criteria.[3][4]

editAs of 2016 the ARLC administrated the "Rugby League Tournament" (ТУРНИР ПО РЕГБИ ЛИГ) and a number of conference leagues.
