About Online Rugby Registration

New Zealand Rugby uses Sporty.co.nz for all clubs and schools in New Zealand to register rugby players.

The online rugby registration process means that rugby players, referees, administrators and coaches are able to register to New Zealand Rugby online via Sporty.co.nz. When your members register online, their registration details are automatically sent to the NZR National Rugby Database.

Online registrations are designed to reduce the workload on the club and school administrators, while also improving the accuracy of the records provided to NZR.
