MUA Rugby Club

North Shore Rugby Club is proud to support MUA through its affiliation with the New Zealand Universities Rugby Football Council (NZU Rugby).We are here to help establish a rugby club for Massey University Albany students.

This is a great opportunity to engage more students within the game (whether you have played or not), strengthening the connection between those students and community rugby.

This affiliation also creates a clear and supported pathway for current students and alumni who play, or aspire to play, at North Shore Rugby Club and opens the door to wearing the coveted NZ Universities jersey and competing against international opposition.

NZU Rugby’s proud history is filled with remarkable achievements, including memorable victories against international rugby stalwarts such as the Springboks and the British & Irish Lions, underlining the unique representative opportunities available through the university rugby pathway.

As part of the affiliation, North Shore Rugby Club will actively engage with Massey University Albany  to encourage greater student involvement in rugby across playing, coaching, management, and support roles, helping to broaden participation both on and off the field.

This partnership complements North Shore’s existing relationship with the Royal New Zealand Navy, together offering players, coaches, and managers multiple development opportunities through aligned sporting, professional, and personal pathways.

North Shore Rugby Club looks forward to working closely with MUA to get Rugby up and going on the campus with the aim of growing participation and supporting students into the game.
