Kaitaia College has a long history of Ruby Union players, some of whom have made it to the All Blacks and/or Maori All Blacks. Previous coaches for the Boys' have been Mate Radich, George Riley, Wihi Stevenson, Nigel Matthews, Martin Stevenson, Selwyn Subritzky, Dave Jurlina and Carl Mehana to name a few; current coach is Clendon Pene.
In 2016 the team was honoured with a visit and korero from ex-All Blacks Mike Burgoyne, Mike Clamp and
Eroni Clarke at the Kaitaia Volunteer Fire Brigade premises. This was part of the after match for the "very close"
pre-season game with Mt Albert Grammar.
