People from the island of Penrhyn (an atoll in the most Northern part of the Cook Islands) left their island in search of a better life and future for their families, where a migration to Auckland, New Zealand started in the early 1900's. In 1981 the Penrhyn people came together with an interest to play cricket. This humble beginning would ignite the dream and vision for a brighter future for generations to come. The original name of the club was Tongareva/Hararanga (other names associated with Penrhyn) and from these diminutive beginnings in 1982 our club took on a new name given by founders, Penrhyn Sports Club.
