Prior to this, the only North Welsh rugby league team was the professional side Celtic Crusaders, who announced in December 2009 that they would leave the South Wales town of Bridgend an relocate to Wrexham in North Wales. This resulted in expansion plans for the Rugby League Conference to North Wales, and was announced in 2010.
The inaugural 2012 competition consisted of Conwy Celts, Dee Valley Dragons, Montgomeryshire Marauders, Prestatyn and Rhyl Panthers and Wrexham Bradley Raiders. Montgomeryshire Marauders folded mid-season and were replaced by Flintshire Falcons. The grand final was fought out between the top two sides: Conwy Celts and Prestatyn and Rhyl Panthers with the Celts running out 48–26 winners to be crowned the first North Wales Champions.
From 2023 North Wales Conference teams are able to qualify for the Challenge Cup through a playoff with the winners of the South Wales Premiership.
The North Wales Conference is part of tier five of the British rugby league system. Above the North Wales Conference is the National Conference League and Conference League South, the highest level of amateur rugby league in the UK.
