The Central Division of the Queensland Rugby League is responsible for the promotion, administration and facilitation of rugby league football throughout Central Queensland. The division administers 20'000 players in over 1'000 teams at more than 170 club in 29 competitions. It is geographically the largest of the three QRL divisions.

History of the Division
Before 2010 the division existed as three separate entities:


 * The Central division's boundaries stretched from Miriam Vale and Gladstone to the south, out to Winton in the west and north to Moranbah.
 * The South West division's boundaries sretched from Toowoomba to the Northern Territory border.
 * The Wide Bay division administered the game in the Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast areas.

In 2010 these three divisions merged and became 'regions' under the new Central Division. The existing 'Central Division' was renamed to the Capricornia region.
