The RFL has been given £10.75m in funding from Sport England for the period 2017-2020. The funding is given to help grow and sustain participation in Rugby League.
In 2013, Rugby League received £17.5m for the same 4 year period. That's a significant drop. of £6.75m.
The RFL was able to bid for between £9m and £11m, so it has actually received 97% of the maxiumum available to it.
To compare this funding against other sports, Netball received £16.9m, Rugby Union £12.6m, Table Tennis £8.3m. I'm not sure how this compares in real terms to the funding given in 2013. If anyone knows the answer I'd love to know whether it's just Rugby League that's seen such a big drop in funding, or Sports in general.
(EDIT: Most Governing Bodies have seen a ~33% reduction in funding from 2013-2017 so Rugby League's funding award is proportionate. To compare, Rugby Union received £20m in 2013).
