Northern United Rugby Football Club Inc was  established in 1989 as a result of the amalgamation of the Porirua and Titahi Bay Rugby Football Clubs.

Norths is the playing name that associates Northern United RFC within the Wellington Rugby Football Union.  The first playing strip was a combination of the Porirua Rugby Club Jersey and the Titahi Bay Rugby Club Shorts and Socks.

The official blue and white playing strip was introduced in 1990, this maybe why most think that the amalgamation happened in 1990 instead of 1989.  2009 was our 20th Anniversary as Northern United Rugby Football Club.

Headquarters for Norths is at Trust Porirua Park, 100 Mungavin Ave, Porirua. This facility is rated the Top Premier ground in the Wellington competition, and lies second only to the Westpac Stadium.

Latest News on Alcohol Excise Tax Increases.

We now have an indication of what we can expect to pay when buying our Alcohol from the Mill.

DB kegs have increased approximately 13.75% $25.76.  This is rather large for an Excise Tax on Alcohol.

This will flow across to our bottled products and we can expect an increase in our pack beer by approximately $5.00 per dozen.

This increase, for now will not impact on prices at the Bar as even though it is larger than anticipated our current prices can sustain this price hike.
