Ken Cowley

businessman Australia

Ken Cowley is a prominent Australian businessman and media executive, known for his role as the chairman of News Ltd during the Super League war in the mid-1990s. His leadership and strategic decisions were pivotal in the establishment of the Super League, a rival rugby league competition that sought to challenge the Australian Rugby League (ARL). Cowley’s vision for a more commercialized and globally competitive rugby league led to significant changes in the sport, although his involvement was also marked by controversy and conflict with traditional rugby league institutions.
