The Northern Raiders are a rugby league team from New York in the United States. They were founded in 2002.

[edit] History

In 2002 the club, known then as the Wilmington Vikings were accepted into the American National Rugby League.

The Vikings, which were formed in Wilmington in 2002, decided to move to New Jersey, after struggling to keep players throughout the 2002 season, as well as the large growing interest in the New Jersey area.

After the 2003 season, the club changed its name to the Northern Raiders. The team logo and colors are similar to those of the Canberra Raiders of Australia's National Rugby League.
