The CPRFU was established in 1992 and at its peak in 2002 the CPRFU included top clubs Kandy SC, Dimbulla A & CC, Dickoya Maskeliya CC, Peradeniya University, OTSC and Kandy Youth SC , all of whom have at one time or another competed in the A Division.
The CPRFU also embarked in forming ‘B’ division clubs, which included Katugastota RFC, Polgolla RFC, Mawilmada RFC, Matale RFC, Nuwara RFC and Pilimatalawa RFC and by 2008 had 18 clubs playing in the up-country rugby league. There were 49 schools in the Central Province engaged in rugby apart from schools like Trinity, Kingswood, St. Anthony’s, Dharmaraja, St. Sylvester’s , Sri Sumangala and Vidyartha.
