Hastings League
The Hastings League is a community rugby league competition. It features amateur teams from smaller towns around the Mid-North Coast and runs as a community competition similar to the Barwon Darling Rugby League and the Western Riverina Community Cup. History The Hastings League was established in 1920 as a rugby league competition on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales. The competition partnered with the Group 3 Rugby League in the 1990s as the Group 3 Saturday League, but has since returned to the Hastings League name and remains separate from Group 3. In 2018, the competition began a ladies tackle grade.

The competition was due to celebrate its centenary season in 2020 but this was delayed until 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic.
