Following the success of the 2024 Women and Girls’ Conference held at Oldham last year, the RFL are pleased to promote the 2026 National Coaching Conference, that is confirmed for the 17th of January 2026 at the Village Hotel Leeds.
The 2026 conference promises to be filled with action-packed learning and networking for Rugby League coaches from across the country.
This coaching conference is designed to help develop Rugby League coaches who are shaping the future of the sport. From grassroots to the women’s and girls’ game specifically, this conference is an opportunity to recognise the vital contribution of coaches whilst offering new knowledge, insights from industry professionals, fresh perspectives, and inspiration to keep driving coaching standards forwards.
With a program of expert speakers and specialist content, the day will focus on the opportunities and challenges within the grassroot, women and girls’ game. Sessions have been carefully designed to provide tactical insights and discussions aimed at supporting coaches in every setting.
The 2026 RFL Coaching Conference is an incredible opportunity for all coaches across the sport.
Dave Elliott, the RFL’s Head of Education, said:
“We are excited to promote our RFL Coaching Conference for 2026. This has been built on the enormous success, of the inaugural Coaching Conference for women’s and girls’ Rugby League in 2025.
“The coaching conference provides our coaching workforce with a platform to learn about the latest techniques and tools in the sport. They will have opportunities to gain experience and develop, with first-hand insights from expert Rugby League coaches, and vitally from industry experts external to the sport. It also allows a huge opportunity to network with like-minded people and expand the coaching networks within our sport.”
