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.

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.
