East Coast Bays RFC (Junior)

The East Coast Bays Rugby Football Club was founded in 1946, to cater for the sparsely populated people of the East Coast Bays area on the North Shore of Auckland. 2024 sees a fresh start for the club with new sponsors, new committee members, new coaches across a number of grades as well as welcoming new players and some old players returning.

East Coast Bays Rugby Club recent successes include The Premier 1 team winning the championship in 2019, The U85’s taking it out in 2021 and our U21 side going for 5 in row Championships this year. These achievements helped ECBRFC be voted North Harbour Rugby Unions Club of the year 2021. Go Bays!
