History

edit

Rugby has been played in the region since the 1870s and 1880s.[2][3]

The Ohinemuri Union was founded at Waihi in 1896, and by 1904 this union was named the Goldfields Rugby Union. It consisted of a number of even smaller unions, but was itself a sub-union of the Auckland Rugby Football Union (ARFU), and was therefore not directly affiliated to the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU).[2] Along with a number of other sub-unions, the Goldfields ceded from the ARFU to form the South Auckland Rugby Football Union in 1909.[4]

Several sub-unions split away from the South Auckland Union between 1909 and 1921 to form new independent unions, and in 1921 the Hauraki Plains, Paeroa, Piako, Waihi sub-unions did the same to form the Thames Valley Rugby Football Union (TVRFU). The union was from then on directly affiliated to the NZRU.[3] The Thames sub union, which had remained affiliated to the ARFU up until then, joined the TVRFU in 1951.[1]

Championships

edit

Thames Valley won the NPC 3rd division in 1988, 1990 and 1995, and in 2018 the Swampfoxes won their first Meads Cup
