Marist Brothers Old Boys Rugby Club

Formed in 1908, the Club won its first Gallaher Shield trophy as the premier Club in Auckland in 1912. The Club has won a total of 11 Gallaher Shields, 3rd equal amongst Clubs in Auckland.

The Club fielded its first All Black in 1913 and had 4 representatives in the 1914 side that toured Australia. A feat that was repeated at the 1987 Rugby World Cup with Sir John Kirwan, Zinzan Brooke, Bernie McCahill and Terry Wright. The Club has a total of 29 All Blacks, the 6th highest of all Rugby Clubs in New Zealand.

Women’s Rugby has played a significant part in our history. The Club has won more Auckland Championships than any other Club. Our 33 Black Ferns is the 5th highest of any Rugby Club in New Zealand.

We are a proud member of the New Zealand Marist Rugby Federation since its inception in 1965. The 27 Marist affiliated Clubs around New Zealand have fielded 78 All Blacks. Our network is uniquely special.

The sale of the Club’s spiritual home at Liston Park in 2008 resulted in a merger with the Tamaki Club and relocation to our existing home at Mount Wellington War Memorial Reserve. The sale proceeds created the Marist Rugby Charitable Trust. This Trust assists in the funding of our extensive Rugby operation.

Our Junior Divisions located around Auckland are our nurseries. We pride ourselves on one of the largest Junior Divisions in Auckland. 20 of our 29 All Blacks came through the Marist Juniors.
