Rugby League is a participation and spectator sport played in the United States of America. A single amateur competition, the American National Rugby League (AMNRL) is predominantly based on the north-east coast. A national side, known as the Tomahawks, participates in international competition. In 1939 the Californian Rugby Football Union wrote to the RFL to tell them they wanted to switch from rugby union and affiliate to the RFL. In June 1939 the RFL made plans to send a delegation out to California but were unable to do so due to the outbreak of World War Two. One of the earliest attempts to introduce rugby league to the United States was in 1953, when Mike Dimitro, a wrestling promoter, was asked to organise a tour of Australasia by an American rugby league side. The team was given a huge schedule that included 26 matches against Australian and New Zealand sides. None of the 22 American players had ever played rugby league prior to this tour, they presented themselves in gridiron-like attire early on in the tournamenet. The side only won six games as well as drawing two.
