Our Vision

Mana Rugby is a Māori-led rugby development initiative connecting rangatahi, whānau and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia.

Our kaupapa is supported in Aotearoa by Mana Sports Aotearoa Charitable Trust, a registered charitable trust board incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957.

Through rugby, cultural connection, leadership and international opportunities, we aim to strengthen identity, confidence and wellbeing while creating meaningful pathways for rangatahi.

Our Team.

At Mana Rugby, we are committed to supporting rangatahi, strengthening whānau and building connected, confident communities. As a charitable trust and not-for-profit organisation, we use rugby as a pathway for education, cultural learning, personal development and positive opportunity. Guided by our Pou Kaitiaki, we work together to create safe, inclusive and meaningful experiences for every young person involved.

Our coaches, volunteers and support staff bring lived experience, rugby knowledge, cultural understanding and strong connections across Aotearoa and around the world. Together, we focus on hauora, leadership, identity, confidence and development. Through manaakitanga, kotahitanga, kaitiakitanga and whanaungatanga, we support rangatahi to grow on and off the field while remaining connected to their whānau, culture and communities.
