League Champions - 1994-95    Previous    Next

London Crusaders were bought out by the Brisbane Broncos and became the London Broncos.

Towards the end of the season the Super League war broke out in Australia when Rupert Murdoch tried to wrest control of the competition from the Australian Rugby League. To gain an advantage he offered to inject 85 million pounds into league in Britain in return for a guarantee not to play matches against ARL teams. The result was a reorganisation of league in Britain.

At the end of the season the teams were reorganised into three divisions of 11. The Super League was formed from the top ten First Division clubs and the London Broncos. The new First Division was formed from the other top six Second Division clubs and the rest of the First Division Clubs except Doncaster. Doncaster and the rest of the Second Division clubs formed the new Second Division.
