NEW ZEALAND RUGBY LEAGUE NATION OVERVIEW
Information on this page was updated on the 3/5/14
Foundation Year – 1907
International Team – Kiwis
Highest finish in World Cup – Winner World Cup Final (2008)
Top level domestic competition – The Warriors are the only New Zealand based team that compete in the National Rugby League (NRL).
History – New Zealand first played rugby league in 1907. Formed by Albert Baskerville they were nicknamed the All-Golds by the New Zealand media. They stopped over in Australia to play some matches against the newly formed NSWRL before heading off on their first tour of Northern England.
Rugby League has been played in New Zealand for over 100 years. During this time rugby league has cemented itself in and around the Auckland area. On the international scene the Kiwis have done it tough winning the occasional test series or one off test match. All this started to change with the influx of Kiwis into the NRL in the 1980’s. In 1998 the Kiwis made their first ever World Cup Final after being involved in the tournament since 1954. Played at a packed Eden Park the Kiwis went onto lose the final but it marked a significant shift in New Zealand’s international fortunes.
In 1992 New Zealand’s application to have a team participate in the NRL (ARL at the time) was approved. The team was given time to put the appropriate structures in place with the side scheduled to enter the competition in 1995. The team was originally known as the Auckland Warriors but has since changed their name to the New Zealand Warriors. The big moment for the Warriors came in 2002 when they played the Sydney Roosters in the NRL Grand Final. The Warriors had the lead early in the second half but fell away in the last 20 minutes losing 30 – 8.
On the international arena New Zealand made it to their second ever World Cup Final in 2000. Once again they played Australia in the final. The Kiwis stuck with Australia throughout the first 60 minutes of play but the superior fitness of the Australian took hold in the last final 20 minutes. The final score 40 – 12 really didn’t indicate the closeness of the match. New Zealand had now made two World Cup Finals with no happy ending.
In 2005 the Kiwis beat Australia in the Tri-Nations final 24 – 0. Before the series NZ were favourites to finish last. The win cemented NZ as the number one Rugby League Nation in the World. In 2006 the Kiwis once again played Australia in the Tri-Nations final. The Australian’s won the game in the second period of extra time 16 -12 in one of the best international games in recent times. The Kiwis had come so close to back to back tri-nations wins.
The Kiwis were grouped with AUS, ENG and PNG in a Super Pool for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup. New Zealand played Australia in the official opening ceremony game in Sydney. The Kiwis campaign didn’t get of to a great start as they were outclassed by the Kangaroos 30 – 6. The Kiwis then defeated Papua New Guinea to register their first win of the tournament. They then defeated England in the last pool game to book a place in the semi final were they faced England again. The Kiwis booked a place in the World Cup final by defeating a disappointing English team.
In the World Cup Final Australia went into the game as un-backable favourites. What happened next will go down as one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. The Kangaroos were outplayed by the Kiwis in every aspect of the game and failed to retain the World Cup that they had held since 1975, going down 20 – 34. The Kiwis had defied the odds and the critics to win their first ever Rugby League World Cup title.
The future looks bright for New Zealand Rugby League as current world champions. The Kiwis World Cup win has produced unprecedented interest and media exposure at home and internationally. This is expected to see an increase in grass roots participation. To capitalise on this the NZRL has launched a Kids to Kiwis campaign that was televised on national TV.
As of early 2008 New Zealand have around 15,000 registered players with 428 teams, a majority of them based around Auckland. Rugby League is the third most watched sport in New Zealand but still faces prejudices. Rugby League has had to overcome many hurdles to have the sport played in secondary schools. Recently the New Zealand sporting body SPARC commissioned a review of how Rugby League was governed in New Zealand. The report produced recommendations that have since been implemented and the NZRL were able to secure more government funding to take the sport to the next level. This has already been realised with the NZRL releasing figures that rugby league participation had jumped to 24,000 in 2010.
New Zealand made up for their performance in 2009 Four Nations by winning the 2010 Four Nations against Australia in Brisbane. The New Zealander’s at the time held both the World Cup and Four Nations trophies and were the undisputed number one team in international rugby league.
New Zealand go into the 2013 Rugby League World Cup (RLWC) looking to defend the World champions title they rightly won in 2008. The Kiwis have been placed in Group B with France, Samoa and Papua New Guinea. New Zealand open their World Cup defence on October the 27th (Sunday) when they take on Pacific Neighbours Samoa at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington, England. The Kiwis then fly to Avignon in France to take on the French on November the 1st (Friday) at the Parc des Sports. New Zealand will then return to Leeds, England for their final group match against Papua New Guinea at Headingley Carnegie Stadium on November the 8th (Friday).
