2001 final review, plus review of Cork Bulls challenge cup game http://web.archive.org/web/20020424121918/http://www.rli.ie/newsB.html

1997 All-Ireland Rugby League Season 1997 saw the first ever Rugby League tournament begin in Ireland. Under the title All-Ireland Challenge Cup eight clubs, Belfast Buccaneers,  Tallaght Tigers ,  Churchtown Warriors ,  East Coast Panthers  from Bray,  Bangor Vikings ,  Dublin Blues ,  Northside Saints  and  Cork Bulls  chased the first ever title.

Northside Saints from Dublin won the following season before Dublin Blues won the title for the second and so far last time. 2000 brought victory for another Dublin club in Churchtown Warriors before Cork Bulls briefly ended the Dubliners dominance. Dublin City Exiles won the first of two consecutive titles, both against Dublin Blues in 2002. Clontarf Bulls were a surprise winner in 2004, the next campaign saw the emergence of Treaty City Titans from Limerick as a truly dominant force they would go on and win six of the next seven championships, many of which saw them go undefeated. In the season they didn't win they were runner-up to Carlow Crusaders  in 2008 a side they had beaten in the previous three finals. During this time as the sport grew the league changed from regional leagues Leinster and Munster into a top division Elite League underpinned by local leagues. By 2010 regional leagues were brought back followed by a series of play-offs. On the field Country Cowboys  won their first title in 2012, it was back to the norm in 2013 as  Treaty City Titans  lifted their 7th title. The Titans had to settle for runners-up the next season as Barnhall Butchers  won for the first time. Treaty City Titans after an indifferent campaign won again in 2015 and in 2016 we were guaranteed a new name on the trophy as debutant finalists  Galway Tribesmen  overcame 2012 runners-up  Ballynahinch Rabbitohs

In 2006 the Leinster and Munster conferences were abandoned in favour of an all-Ireland league. This had great difficulties while it attempted to compete with the Rugby Union season and unfortunately the end of the season was scrapped in order to get to the play off finals. Hard lessons were learnt as a result of this. At the AGM in 2006 the league structure was again reviewed and this time the shorter season was agreed on but with a tiered system. The tiers would allow newer teams and less experienced teams to play against one another and continue their development while the more established teams would compete against each other and enhance the players skills for games against other representative teams.

2007 therefore saw a three league approach with the Elite league and two conferences based on geography. The newly elected executive also set about making the product more recognised and developing new relationships with potential sponsors. The Leeds Rhino's brought their pre season training camp to Dublin. The leagues each had a major sponsor and all results were published in various media outlets. The wolfhound draw was converted to the Wolfhound Supporters Network. The Elite league was won for a record 3rd consecutive time by the Treaty City Titans. The Southern Conference was won by Tullamore Knights. The Northern conference was won by Portadown Pumas. At senior level the Wolfhounds qualified for the 2008 World Cup in Australia after two wins over Russia and two drawn games with Lebanon. The Students also qualified for the World Cup also in 2008 in Australia. The Wolfhounds A came second in the Four Nations on points difference after wins over England A and Scotland A but drawing with Wales A who were winners.

At the 2007 AGM a new Chairman was elected. Niall Cantrell from Munster and the Titans was elected after Dave Southern stepped down. Dave continued his involvement as Marketing Director and also vice chairman to aid a smooth transition. A new kit deal was also signed with Kukri. This 3 year deal saw a significant investment and allowed for retail of the Wolfhound brand gear.

In 2008 the champions were the Carlow Crusaders who won the Carnegie Grand Final 24-8. The final was re-arranged due to bad weather and was played under floodlights in Portlaoise. The Titans had been champions for 3 consecutive years and this season saw the title move to the Midlands. In the Emerald Rugby conference, Portlaoise Panthers beat Kilkenny Wildcats 42-22 in the final at Portlaoise. The Panthers had been unstoppable all year. On the representative front the Senior team had a great World Cup in Australia and reached the semi final qualifier against Fiji much to most peoples surprise having topped the group of death with Tonga and Samoa. The Students also played in the Student World Cup in Australia and this was run by RLI for the first time. Although not successful in terms of results it was the first time that RLI had run the students in a major tournament and is a watershed in that respect. RLI was also represented at the Under 18 level by Peter Carr from the North Dublin Eagles who was the only domestic player in the championships in Serbia.
