It was established in 1991 to form a national rugby league competition from the many amateur and semi-professional leagues in Moscow, Kazan and other districts of Russia. An attempt was made to organize and register a national competition during the USSR era, but permission was denied on the basis of the professional status of the game.[citation needed] The Russia national rugby league team (with the exception of limited foreign players such as former captain Ian Rubin) is largely made up of players drawn from the Russian Championship.[citation needed]
