Eastern Region Dragon Boat Association

Formed in early 2020, we are one of five Regional Sports Organisations (RSOs) for dragon boating in New Zealand, covering the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne. We operate under the governance of the New Zealand Dragon Boat Association (NZDBA), which is a member of the International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF), the worldwide governing body for the sport.


The Association supports new and exisiting clubs and members across the Eastern Region while fully commiting to increasing Dragon Boating as a sport in the Eastern Region.


Dragon Boating is a fit for life sport, and inclusive for anyone and everyone who is keen to participate. We would love to hear from anyone who is interested in joining this lifestyle sport - please contact us at: easternregiondba@gmail.com
