Any Information on Rugby League in Hawai'i

Aloha
hey

Great website and forums

Next April I will be going to hawai'i, and just wanted to please know if anyone had any information on the development of league in the islands. I heard back before that the AMNRL was going to do development there, but I haven't heard anything or any new info.

Relatives I have say that rugby union is the only form there being played - in some schools and with a few clubs situated, the biggest being the 'hawai'i harlequins'(being established for around 40 years) holding a small international tournament every year that attracts clubs from other countries. With hawai'i's main sports being water orientated such as surfing and its official state sport canoe paddling, League could really take off, (especially if the success of the Warriors was showcased) with its only competitors being other sports such as baseball, american football, and of course rugby union.

any information or contact details would be great

thank you for your time
mahalo

This website is really out of date, but it does give a name of someone trying to organise league in Hawaii

If that doesn't help, you should email the American National Rugby League and ask them if they still have contact with those who were trying to kick off the game in Hawaii. I'm sure they would have some way of contacting them.
