About Ellerslie Eagles Rugby League Club

Ellerslie Eagles Rugby League Football Club is a community sports club at 186 Main Highway in Ellerslie, Auckland. The club was formed in April 1912 at a meeting in the Ellerslie Hotel, under the name Wanderers. It was re-established in 1919 and took its current name at the 1971 AGM. The club wears red, white and blue, and it describes itself as a family club.

Anyone can join as a player, a supporter or an affiliate member. The club has run schoolboy grades since 1928, and it has won several championships in its history, including in 1924 and 1925. Club history on its website names members who gave decades of service, including a family of eight who gave 280 years to the club between them. Visitors can meet old and new friends at the club, which the website describes as a place where people feel they belong.
