Here’s what’s on:

Doors open 5:30 PM | Kick off starts 6:00 PM (don't be late & come early to grab a good spot!)
Private venue, big screens & a projector for the best view in the house
Full bar + kitchen to keep you fuelled
Pool table, vibes, and space to connect
Special guest + Giveaways from our friends at NZ Rugby to keep the energy high

Whether you’re a die-hard rugby fan or just here for the vibes, this is the place to cheer, chant, and celebrate together.

This is a free community event, open to sapphics, queers, allies, and rugby fans alike. While there’s no ticket required, there will be the option to support Women in Sport Aotearoa with a donation, helping to back and empower women in sport across Aotearoa.

At Sapphic events, we celebrate the full diversity of our community including sapphic, trans, non-binary, and genderqueer individuals. Everyone is welcome to enjoy a safe and inclusive environment. Allies are warmly invited, and we ask that you be mindful and respectful of the space we have created for our community.
