About College Rifles Rugby & Sports Club

A rugby and sports club on Haast Street in Remuera, Auckland, with roots in a volunteer military unit formed in 1897. The club took its name from its crest, which combines the lion of Auckland Grammar School, the crown of King's College and the three stars of St John's College. The club was formed on 14 July 1897 by members of that corps, and it still plays senior and junior rugby. Other sports are offered too, so young and older members can compete, learn new skills and mix as a community. The club also has functions, facilities and hospitality, with a functions manager on staff. An ex-players and supporters club has run for more than 50 years and has more than 150 members. The general inquiries line is 09 520 3201, and the club's junior sport and rugby development staff have their own contacts on the website.
