History
The Sunshine Coast Gympie Rugby League started life as the North Coast Rugby League in 1920 after all of the clubs comprising the corresponding rugby union competition changed codes en masse.[1][2][3] Among the clubs playing that first season were Pomona, Cooroy, Eumundi, Yandina, Nambour, Woombye, Palmwoods, Buderim and Mooloolah.
In the area served by the SCGRL competition there have been leagues based in Maleny[4] and Gympie[5]
The start to the 2020 season was disrupted by the then recent outbreak of the Coronavirus, which was formally declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020.[6]
On 16 June of that year, it was reported that a number of clubs – including six Division 1 clubs – did not nominate sides for the 2020 season by the June 15h deadline.[7][8] The season was eventually cancelled.[9][10][11]
Out of our nine clubs with A Grade teams, six teams decided not to nominate teams this year.
The League returned in 2021.
