About

Napier Pirate Rugby & Sports Club is one of the oldest & longest established sports clubs in NZ & is the only rugby club in Hawke’s Bay that is affiliated to the NZ Universities RFU.

Story

While the main activities of the Club centre around rugby in all grades, from senior to schoolboy, the Club is also very proud to be represented by five women’s netball teams and one Rugby League team and the likeyhood of a cricket team.

Our existence is based on a long and proud history. Whilst other Hawke's Bay clubs have lost their identity through amalgamation or recess, Napier Pirate Rugby & Sports Club has prevailed for 125 years and on Queen’s Birthday weekend 2011 we celebrated that significant achievement.

We are a family oriented club that takes great pride in our support of grass roots rugby. The Napier Pirate Junior Rugby Club has a strong presence in Hawke’s Bay competitions and the true family nature of the Club is best demonstrated by the fact that many parents of the Junior Grade players are playing members in our Senior Grade teams. At Premier Grade level, our teams have consistently finished in the top four of the championship round, the Maddison Trophy.

2011 year saw our 3 senior mens rugby teams reach the finals of their respective grades with the Premier team bring home the Maddison Trophy again.

Planning for 2012 is now well underway the club is looking to build of the success of 2011 with our goals including the fielding of a Colts side.

We welcome all players of all abilities to our Club. Make the choice to make Napier Pirate Rugby & Sports Club YOUR CLUB.

Once a Pirate, always a Pirate.
