About Manurewa Rugby Football Club

Manurewa Rugby Football Club, known as Rewa, is an amateur rugby club founded in 1921 and based at Mountfort Park on Dr Pickering Avenue in Manurewa. It plays in the Counties Manukau Union, and the club says it is the northernmost team in the union. It also says it has been the most successful club in Counties Manukau, with many champion titles, and it keeps an honours board of players who went on to Counties grades, professional rugby and international honours.

The club has senior men's grades from Premiers down to Under 19s, Presidents and Golden Oldies, plus an active women's grade and junior grades for children aged 5 to 14. The website says it fielded around 35 teams in 2024. Other sports on the same grounds include netball, softball, Australian rules, American football, touch, tag, 7s and para-athletics. Its clubrooms and modern facilities are available for function hire, and the club sells Rewa supporters gear. For a family in Manurewa looking for junior rugby, or a supporter who wants to see a long-established local club, its size and range of grades are the practical reason to look at it.
