Rugby Union was the predecessor of the League code

Rugby union prompted American Football whose creator was Walter Camp, Australian Rules football is reported to be linked to BOTH Gaelic Football and crossed with Rugby. All these have a history that appears to commence After 1825 when rugby first started with the exception of Gaelic Football which used a round ball and appears around the same time as rugby - there is little to connect them.
