The Lancashire rugby league team is an English representative rugby league team consisting of players who were born in the historic county of Lancashire or who first played for a club in Lancashire. [1]
Until 2003, Lancashire played Yorkshire in the annual War of the Roses game. This match was part of the County Championship until 1983 when the competition stopped and Roses went on to become a stand-alone event.
Lancashire played in the County Championship from its inception in 1895 to its final season in 1983. They have also played against international representative sides during tours to Great Britain. [2]
