AustraliaAFL/NRL FAQ
What is the difference between AFL and NRL?
The AFL is Australian rules football, played on huge oval grounds with an oval ball, marks and behinds. The NRL is rugby league, a thirteen-a-side collision sport played on a rectangular field. They are entirely different codes with different rules, heartlands and histories.
Who are the greatest AFL and NRL players of all time?
In the AFL, names like Leigh Matthews, Wayne Carey and Gary Ablett feature in most greatest-ever debates. In rugby league, Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Andrew Johns and Wally Lewis lead the conversation. Neither code has a settled answer.
How much do AFL and NRL players earn?
Both leagues operate salary caps, with top players earning high six-figure to seven-figure sums annually. Marquee names add sponsorship and media income on top of club contracts.
What is State of Origin?
State of Origin is rugby league's annual three-match series between New South Wales and Queensland, selected on where players first played. It is widely regarded as some of the most intense rugby league on the planet and a highlight of the Australian sporting year.
