Runciman Tennis Club is a family-oriented tennis club in Runciman, reached from Pitt Road off Great South Road in south Auckland. It has three astro-turf courts, which are available on most days, and it was founded in 1934, when its courts first opened. The club began as part of the South Auckland Lawn Tennis Association and moved to the Counties Tennis Association in 1992. Its land is leased from Auckland Council for a minimal sum. Annual membership allows use of the courts at any time, except during scheduled play. Ladies play runs on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 9am to noon, men's night play on Wednesday from 5.30pm to 9pm, and social tennis on Thursday afternoons in summer. Saturdays are open to members, with possible interclub play in the morning.
Junior coaching runs only during school terms 1 to 4 and is for children from age 5 to school leaving age. Coaching sessions cost extra on top of junior membership. Adult coaching is available on request. The club held an open day on 27 September 2026, followed by a BBQ. The club has a long history in the Runciman and Drury area, and it was particularly strong in the 1950s and 1960s. The club's committee contacts are listed on its website. For a family in Runciman or south Auckland who wants a family club with courts and coaching, the club is the local option.
