About Us

The Masters of Rugby League was formed for players retired from all competitive football and officials to showcase their skills and abilities on the field without the risk of serious injury. The objective is to enjoy the game but still be able to get out of bed the next morning and go to work.

We have been playing Masters Rugby League in New Zealand and Australia for over 16 years and this has included an annual tournament at the end of each regular season. The tournaments have been held each side of the Tasman, this year the International tournament will be held in Auckland, New Zealand with over sixty teams participating.

Masters Rugby League in New Zealand has experienced an increase in teams over recent years. This is due to increased awareness of this grade in clubs and has been helped also by the promotion of benefits of physical activity through SPARC's Push Play campaign.
