Thames Valley Rugby Football Union Last updated February 16, 2025 History 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]
On 27 October 2018 Thames Valley won their first Heartland Championship by defeating South Canterbury 17-12 in the Meads Cup Final in Timaru. Thames Valley also won the Meads Cup in 2024.
Thames Valley have yet to win the Lochore Cup , their best effort being 2021 when they were runners up to South Canterbury .
