TheAuckland rugby league team is the team which traditionally represents all of the clubs which play in theAuckland Rugby League competition. As well as a senior men's team there are also Auckland representative teams throughout the various age groups such as under 15s, under 17s, under 19s and under 21s.
Under the new zone scheme introduced in 2010 the Auckland team represents theNorth Shore,East Auckland andWest Auckland, whileSouth Auckland is represented by theCounties Manukau rugby league team. The zone team is named theAkarana Falcons.[1]
Auckland played its first game on 24 August 1908 when they took onWellington atVictoria Park, Auckland in the first provincial game of rugby league in New Zealand. The Auckland Rugby League had not yet been formed so the side was not an official one as such.[2]
Auckland had played against several touring teams over the years, though once theAuckland Warriors started playing in the1995 ARL Premiership it diluted the standard of the representative side, and they have not played against full international sides in recent years. Auckland beat Australia, England and France in the space of 21 days in 1977. A feat which the Warriors commemorated by wearing replica strips in their clash with Australian clubManly-Warringah Sea Eagles in round 24 of the2007 NRL season on 26 August 2007. The Warriors won 36–14 in front of a packedMount Smart Stadium.
The Akarana Falcons participate in theAlbert Baskerville Trophy. This team represents theHibiscus Coast Raiders,Richmond Bulldogs,Mt Wellington Warriors,Ponsonby Ponies,Glenora Bears,Ellerslie Eagles,Mt Albert Lions,Te Atatu Roosters,Bay Roskill Vikings,Northcote Tigers,Marist Saints,East Coast Bays Barracudas,Pt Chevalier Pirates,Waitemata Seagulls,Glenfield Greyhounds,New Lynn Stags and theWaiheke Rams.[3]
Auckland representative sides traditionally wear a blue jersey with a white double 'V', in the same style of theNew Zealand national rugby league team jersey but with blue instead of black, this is still the jersey worn by theAuckland VulcansNSW Cup team.
Auckland has a good record against touring international teams, recording multiple wins overAustralia,Great Britain/England andFrance. Auckland holds the distinction of being (as of 2024) the last club or provincial side anywhere to defeat Australia when they defeated them 26–24 atCarlaw Park on the Aussie's1989 Tour of New Zealand.[4]
The team for the match was: (fullback)Alf Chorley; (three-quarters) L Nolan, George Smith,Albert Asher; (five-eights)Alfred Jackson,Ronald MacDonald; (halfback) Len Farrant; (forwards)Fred Jackson (captain),Charles Dunning,Jim Griffin,Alex Stanaway,Harry Fricker, andGeorge Seagar.
