The National Arco Rugby League (NARL) is the rugby league club competition in Arcerion, and the most competitive professional rugby league in Crona and Ixnay. The league is comprised of twenty teams from all five of Arcerion's Governorates, however the Port Northford Icebergs play in Kurst due to the time zone and geographic dislocation of Howland Governorate. The league has been playing games uninterrupted since 1956, when it amalgamated and merged several smaller semi-professional and amateur leagues.
