Bosnia participated in the Balkans Cup competition in 2014. But their matches weren't rated as official international matches as the national association has yet to apply for RLEF membership.[1] They won their first "Unofficial" match against Hungary by 32-6 in the Third Place play off match of the 2014 Balkans Cup tournament.[2]
In January 2018, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Rugby League Association was founded in Vitez.[3] In May 2018, the Rugby League European Federation awarded it observer status.[4]
On RLEF Congress held in Belgrade in August 2018, Bosnia and Herzegovina Rugby League Association gets rights to host 2019 Balkans Cup in Vitez.[citation needed]
