Teams
Alpiners
Forged in the backbone of the Southern Alps, where strength and spirit embody the land that surrounds. Drawing talent from every corner of the Island, the Alpiners carry the pride, grit, and determination that define the strength of the south.
Falcons
They’re fierce. They’re fast. They’re the Falcons. Bird of the year, the Kārearea resides in and represents the central North Island region, a region woven together by the majestic central mountain ranges.
Mavericks
The Mavericks light up the turf in their bold orange kit, bringing serious heat to the game. Representing Bay of Plenty, East Coast, Taranaki, Tauranga, Thames Valley, and Waikato, they unite with fiery passion and unstoppable flair — igniting the turf every time they play.
Tridents
Spanning the remarkable beaches of Auckland and the North Shore, the rugged Kaipara Coast, the expanse of Bream Bay to the stunning waters of the Bay of Islands and beyond, the people of the northern region, the Tridents are united by, and live for, the ocean.
