REFEREES

On any Saturday during rugby season there are hundreds of games of rugby being player across wider Auckland.

Hundreds of referees volunteer their time to ensure players can have a safe and enjoyable experience while giving back to the community - but there are always teams who miss out. More official referees are required.

While many referees take up the whistle to simply get out on a rugby field each Saturday morning, many others see refereeing as an opportunity to develop their decision making, enhance their management skills and even realise a dream of being a test match referee.

Whatever your ability, age or aspirations -  refereeing caters for everybody!  Refereeing offers

  • The best seat in the house and the opportunity to stay involved with the game
  • Keeping fit and active
  • Full training, supportive environments and opportunity to meet new people
