2019 Representative rugby season calendar and fixtures

The 2019 club rugby season is all but over and the local college season is reaching its crescendo, but two months of representative rugby from the ground up is just getting underway.

The secondary school post-season knockout phase is coming up soon, as school teams aim to qualify for the National Top 4 tournament in Palmerston North in early September.

A full programme of Hurricanes Youth Council U16, U18, and U19 rugby has already started with the Hurricanes Youth Council’s U20 Development series and this runs through to the start of October.

The Hurricanes U19 Central Region Shield between Wellington, Manawatu, Hawke’s Bay and the Hurricanes Heartland U20 side (selected from the U20 Development series, above) is played over the back half of August. This is then leads up to the National U19 provincial tournament in Taupo from 7-14 September.

The Hurricanes Development Shield competition this year is again being contested by the Wellington Centurions Development, Wellington Maori and Wellington Samoan teams (who will also compete for the Festival Cup) and the Hawke’s Bay Saracens

The Wellington Development’s season runs concurrently to the Festival Cup (above) this year For home supporters, their campaign is a case of blink and you might miss it. The team plays six matches, but after their opening match at the Hutt Rec this Saturday against the Wairarapa Bush Heartland squad just one of the next four is at home, against the Hawke’s Bay Saracens on 31 August.

The Wellington Pride play just one home match at Jerry Collins Stadium, with the remainder at Westpac Stadium as ‘curtain-raisers’ to men’s NPC matches. The home game at Jerry Collins is against Bay of Plenty on Saturday 7 September.

Several sevens tournaments will close out the year in rugby as teams and clubs prepare for next season and a fresh start in 2020.
