Feel like you’re getting lost in the numbers this season? Not getting the game time you deserve?

At Green Island Rugby Club, we’re on the lookout for colts players who want a fair crack, quality minutes, and a team-first environment, and we’re looking to complete our squads in a few key positions across both Under 20 and Under 21 grades. 🐻💚💛

If your current club is stacked and you’re struggling for opportunities, why not make the move to a club where you’ll be valued, developed, and backed every week.

We offer:
🏉 Genuine game time opportunities
🏉 Strong coaching and development
🏉 A tight-knit club culture that has your back on and off the field

We’re close to locking in our squads, so if you’re keen to be part of something solid this season, now’s the time to make your move.

Don’t sit on the sidelines wondering “what if.” Take control of your season.

Your rugby. Your opportunity. Your club.

🚗💚 A Small Favour for One of Our Own 💛🚗

Hi team, we’re reaching out to our amazing club community for a bit of support.

We’ve got an out-of-town player who’s just joined us and is in the process of getting settled. We’re wondering if any of our supporters might have a small runabout car they’d be willing to lend for a few weeks to help him get to trainings, and around town while he finds his feet.

It would make a huge difference and really show what our club is all about — looking after each other on and off the field. 🐻💛💚

If you’re able to help, or know someone who might be, please flick us a message.

Thanks so much in advance for your support! 🙌

Help support your local community rugby club so that we may strive to succeed and provide the best possible rugby experience for all...
The Green Island Rugby Club has been an integral part of the local community since 1884.
We are seeking $100 donation/s from families, individuals or our local business community. The plaques remain on the board for one season, and patrons have the option to contribute $100 annually if they wish to have their name remain on the board. The $100 also includes honorary club membership for the year.
The aim of the “$100 CLUB SPONSORS BOARD” is to help promote the growth and development of rugby within our club and local community.
Running a club is a costly exercise, and the $100 SPONSOR Board allows those in our community to contribute that can.
To display your Plaque on the board in 2026, then please make your donation via EFTPOS or Cash payment at the Bar on your next visit to the Club.
Alternatively, for those out of town, you can transfer payment to our account by the following process:
Note: Those with their names already on the board will need to renew or they will be removed before the season starts.
1. Funds can be deposited to our BNZ Bank Account Number: 020 900 0056691 00 (Green Island Rugby Football Club Inc)
2. Please include the following references on your deposit: 1) your NAME 2) "100 BOARD" (so we can reconcile & track payment)
3. Notify us at [email protected] that you have made payment and also advise the name you would like on the plaque (space is limited due to plaque size, so text can't be too long)
Thank you for helping us grow the club, and provide the best possible local community and rugby environment for all. Your contribution is most valued!

Love seeing the Stonewood Homes connection with Green Island Rugby Club out in full force.

With the Stonewood crew supporting from the sidelines, and some of our builder boys out on the field, it’s a club that means a lot to us. Proud to support the mighty Green Island jersey🏉
