Pirongia Rugby and Sports Club

Welcome to Pirongia Rugby and Sports Club

Boasting a proud reputation as a cornerstone of local sports, Pirongia Rugby and Sports Club stands as a vibrant hub for athletes and families alike in the Waikato region. Specialising in rugby, the club fields an impressive lineup during the winter season, including Senior A, Senior B, Colts, Presidents, and a dedicated Women’s team, all competing in the Waikato competition. Beyond rugby, we nurture young talent with 18 junior teams ranging from pre-school to 12th and 13th grades. Our commitment to community outreach shines through initiatives linking with Kawhia and Tahoroa to support junior rugby in these areas, ensuring the sport thrives across the region.

Making our home in the picturesque town of Pirongia, Waikato, our club is more than just a place to play—it’s a gathering spot for the entire community. Located at the heart of this tight-knit area, we’re easily accessible for locals looking to get involved in sports or social events. Our facilities cater to a variety of interests, ensuring there’s always something happening, whether it’s a rugby match in winter or a friendly game of touch during summer. The Waikato region’s supportive sports culture amplifies our mission to bring people together through active lifestyles and camaraderie.

A Diverse Range of Sports and Activities

At Pirongia Rugby and Sports Club, we go beyond rugby to offer a packed calendar of activities year-round. Over the summer, our touch and volleyball competitions draw crowds with mixed teams, each accommodating 24 squads, alongside a junior module for budding athletes. Cricket is another highlight, with our team clinching the B-grade championship in the Waikato Valley Cricket competition this year. For those seeking indoor options, our two squash courts host both summer business house events and winter club nights, catering to players of all levels.

Our club also proudly supports a range of other sports and community groups, ensuring inclusivity for all. From tennis and netball to bowls, there’s an activity for every interest. We even host the local Plunket, reinforcing our role as a community cornerstone. For women interested in rugby, we welcome players of any level—reach out to Sarah Ryan at the provided contact for more details on joining our thriving Women’s team.
