Don HammondNew Zealand Rugby League MuseumThe New Zealand Rugby League Museum was opened at Rugby League House, 7 Beasley Avenue, Penrose, Auckland in December 2007 and extended in late 2010. It showcases items such as team and individual photos dating from 1907 through to today; scrapbooks of newspaper clippings; match and test programs; trophies, and representative caps and jerseys - the earliest of which dates from 1927. The collection also includes the original signed contract for the 1907 All Golds, the first ever rugby league team to tour internationally. *** Please note that the Rugby League World Cup is not in the Museum at present. It is in the UK promoting the upcoming RLWC2013. Museum Information:The museum is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11.00am until 3.00pm, if possible please phone before coming as sometimes the Museum is used for meetings.
Groups are very welcome. There is roadside parking available. The Museum Explorer Quiz is available to anyone young or old who wishes to attempt it. It is proving especially popular with groups of young people. Entry is $2 per person, please bring cash (or a cheque for large groups) as we don't have Eftpos. |
