The Sunraysia-Riverlands Rugby League is a rugby league football competition in Victoria, Australia held by NRL Victoria. The league was formed in 1991 representing 5 clubs in the far south-west corner of New South Wales, along with 1 club from Victoria. During its first 4 seasons, the league was overseen by both the Country Rugby League & Victorian Rugby League, before the competition was disbanded in 1995.
The league was reformed in 2011 with five clubs, however as of 2022, this has been reduced to 2 clubs both located in Victoria. As both clubs remaining are from Victoria, sole control of the league passed to NRL Victoria. This changed however when the league entered a temporary amalgamation with the NSWRL's Outback Rugby League for 2022 due to a lack of numbers, with joint control returning once more. This arrangement ended after the two leagues demalgamated in 2023.
