Operating as the regional governing organisation for touch rugby across Canterbury, this sporting association coordinates organised competitions, provincial referee development, and team matchmaking from grassroots to representative grades. First established in the early 1980s, it connects individual players looking for a squad with established teams, while supporting junior modules, secondary school leagues, and adult grades. Running structured modules alongside dedicated referee advisory panels ensures regular community fixtures and standard field setups across the province.
Based at March Place in Belfast, Christchurch, the body serves as the regional hub for team entries, judiciary matters, and competition coordination. Local teams and single players can connect directly through its competition network to join social or competitive leagues across Canterbury.
