While often we live by the old adage “the only certainty is change,” the 2026 senior competition draws - as they currently stand - have been released by North Harbour Rugby.

To help keep our community up to date and in the know, we have added a live calendar to the home page of our website. All senior fixtures have been scheduled there. Should changes occur throughout the season, the calendar will be updated accordingly — along with other key club events as they are confirmed. The senior preseason fixtures have also have been included.

Key Highlights from the Draw

• New U19s Grade on Friday NightsOur newly formed Under 19s side will play under lights on Friday evenings — an exciting addition that promises a great atmosphere at the club.

• ANZAC Day Home GameWe are honoured to again host a home fixture on ANZAC Day. This is always a special occasion on our calendar and an important opportunity to reflect and connect as a community.

• Premiers vs Northcote — Twice at HomeIn a quirk of the draw, our Premier side will host Northcote twice at home this season — something that has us scratching our heads as well!

• Two Byes (Again)Like it or lump it, we have two byes again this season — with the first falling in Round One.

Women’s Rugby Update

Unfortunately, at this stage, we have not been able to field a Senior Women’s team for the upcoming season. This is disappointing, and we are committed to going back to the drawing board to rebuild momentum in this space.

We look forward to another competitive and community-focused season ahead and encourage all supporters to check the website calendar regularly to stay informed.

Let’s get into it.
