# Roma District Rugby League

The Roma District Rugby League is a competition in the Maranoa district of South West Queensland, Australia, run under the auspices of the Queensland Rugby League.

## History

The Roma District Rugby League was established in 1914.
Rugby League Immortal Arthur Beetson played for the Roma Cities Gladiators, before moving to play for Redcliffe in the Brisbane Rugby League and Balmain, Eastern Suburbs and Parramatta in the NSWRFL Premiership, in addition to captaining New South Wales in the residency-based Interstate Series, Queensland in State of Origin, and becoming the first ever Indigenous captain of the Kangaroos.
The Western Rugby League folded in 2021, with the remaining clubs, Charleville and Cunnamulla, forming a combined side, known as the Western Ringers, who entered into the Roma competition from 2022.
