The Bosnia national rugby league team represents Bosnia and Herzegovina in the sport of rugby league football and have been participating in international competition since 2014.

History

Bosnia participated in the Balkans Cup competition in 2014. But their matches weren't rated as official international matches as the national association has yet to apply for RLEF membership.[1] They won their first "Unofficial" match against Hungary by 32-6 in the Third Place play off match of the 2014 Balkans Cup tournament.[2]

In January 2018, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Rugby League Association was founded in Vitez.[3] In May 2018, the Rugby League European Federation awarded it observer status.[4]

On RLEF Congress held in Belgrade in August 2018, Bosnia and Herzegovina Rugby League Association gets rights to host 2019 Balkans Cup in Vitez.
