The Latvia national rugby league team was established in 2008 to represent Latvia at rugby league football.
Latvia initially competed in the European Bowl, for fourth-tier developing nations. They beat Estonia in a two-game series and therefore won the inaugural tournament after Ukraine could not gain visas to travel. In 2009 they finished in second place after losing to Ukraine and defeating Estonia. In 2010 they played in the European Shield, losing to Russia and Ukraine.
In April 2015, the qualification process for the 2017 World Cup was announced. The 2015 Rugby League European Championship C tournament served as part of this process and on 9 May 2015 Latvia played in a preliminary match for the right to compete in the championship alongside and . Latvia lost the match 32âÂÂ22 and as a result of this were eliminated from the world cup qualifiers.
In 2024, the Latvian federation was expelled from International Rugby League due to "several years" of inactivity, thus the team is currently dormant.
