Rugby For Life: Growing Stronger in Q2 2025
Kia ora,
As we wrap up the second quarter of 2025, the heartbeat of community sport is stronger than ever. Across Rugby For Life clubs, the drive to uplift tamariki, rangatahi and whānau continues to gather focus, energy and purpose.
From Hikurangi to Otamatea, our clubs are doing more than playing rugby — they’re leading change. Whether it’s supporting wāhine new to the game, renovating clubrooms with local fundraising, or creating space for rangatahi to find their voice, this quarter has been a reflection of what communities can achieve when they lead from the ground up.
Q2 2025 By the Numbers
Here’s a glimpse into the impact made between April and June:
These numbers are powerful, but it’s the people behind them who carry the real meaning. Young leaders stepping up. Whānau creating safe spaces. Clubs transforming into places of belonging, pride and support.
Pride On and Off the Field
The results of this quarter show what's possible when people work together for something bigger. Rugby is no longer just a sport — it's a vehicle for social good. It provides structure, identity and opportunity for those who need it most.
From leadership groups to kai tables, this is grassroots sport creating deeper connections and lasting change.
