Mangakahia Rugby

03/09/2026

What a massive couple of weeks ago it has been for Rugby in Northland!! And even though it’s officially the end of the junior rugby season in Whangarei, we at Mangakahia aren’t done yet with some post-season games being played and tournaments to attend.

It takes a LOT to run a junior rugby club and we just want to take this opportunity to make a shout out to our players, parents, grandparents, whanau, friends, coaches, managers, sausage sizzlers, fundraiser supporters, raffle sellers, sideline supporters EVERYONE who keeps the black and blue machine humming along! We couldn’t do it without you all.

💙🖤From us all at Mangakahia Rugby Club we want to say a huge thank you for everything you’ve put into your club this season and for your continued support and loyalty. We really do appreciate you all and hope to have you back with us again next season 🖤💙

PS don’t forget Touch Season kicks off soon, so keep an eye out for that!

🏉 100 YEARS OF MANGAKAHIA RUGBY | WE WANT YOUR IDEAS! 🖤💙

2027 is a pretty special year for us… Mangakahia Rugby Club turns 100!

To celebrate, we want to create something new, fresh and uniquely OURS for our centenary supporters gear.

We’re calling on our Mangakahia whānau to send us your ideas for artwork, patterns, graphics or a sublimation-style design that could be used alongside our club logo across hoodies, jerseys and other 100-year supporters gear.

You don’t need to be a designer. A sketch, digital design, pattern or even a rough idea is enough.

Be part of shaping Mangakahia Rugby history and help create something our community can wear with pride in our 100th year.

Send your ideas via private message or email [email protected].

Ideas close 30 September 2026.

A century of rugby, shaped by our people 🙌

The carpark upgrade project was tracking well through winter, however a recent inspection uncovered some unexpected drainage issues, which has led to the need for more testing and a seasonal delay in the seal programme.

😢Unfortunately we’ve had reports of poor behaviour from our Mangakahia supporters on the junior rugby sidelines today. Sadly, the actions of individuals tarnishes the reputation of the whole club and even if the frustration is understandable, we need to remember it's about the kids first and foremost and they along with the volunteer coaches and refs are not professionals. Let’s do better for the rest of the season 🖤💙

Vibe Check! ✨

What vibe are you bringing this weekend?
