Established in 1954, the Otago University Rugby League Club has long provided a welcoming and affordable rugby league club to students in Dunedin. We live by our values of integrity, passion, leadership, respect and courage and aim to display them on and off the field. 

Our players love being apart of our club, which stems from our welcoming, close-knit culture. Our players describe our team culture as "brotherly" and our new players are welcomed into the fold by our senior squad. 

Like any good business, we believe our players are our best asset, so we aim to keep our costs minimal and offer a range of benefits to our players. As, a student club, having high player costs would be a deterrent for our playing group. This dictates that we find other ways of covering our costs. This includes player-led fundraising and applying for grants but we also look for more stable means in the form of sponsorship by local businesses. 

To the right is our sponsorship structure, which we use as a guideline for each sponsor, with aspects of the sponsorship negotiable - we like to consider your needs and goals and how we can help you reach them. 

Comments from our current sponsors:

“We are very pleased to have been associated with Otago University Rugby League Club (OURLC) for the 2016 season.  This is the first season we have been involved with the club and we are looking forward to again being part of the OURLC family as they have engaged with us to profile our business.  The committee very much appreciated our support and are one of the few University teams to have proactively initiated a review of the season.”

            Russell Fowler, Stirling Sports.

“The Bog Dunedin we would like to thank you for your commitment to the sponsorship package for the 2016 season. Was great to see the team coming in after games and for showing a professional attitude.”

            Greg Wilson, The Bog Irish Bar.
