A Club of Distinction
To help us build and grow, we have introduced Foundation Memberships.
Foundation Memberships are open to anyone including former players, staff, board members, shareholders, and supporters, who wish to play a deeper role in establishing and funding the future of Ruakura RFC.
The proceeds from Foundation Memberships provide the seed funding for key initiatives such as:
- The redevelopment of the Ruakura Clubrooms at Chiefs HQ — our home base, a place for history, storytelling, and connection.
- Supporting events and programmes that give back to the game, particularly within the Chiefs Pathway.
- Laying the groundwork for a future Ruakura RFC clubhouse at FMG Stadium Waikato.
As a sign of respect to the wider rugby public, 250 Foundation Memberships have been made available for purchase.

Chiefs Centurion & All Blacks Captain
"To me, being a Chief has always meant more than just playing the game. It’s about belonging to something bigger. Ruakura RFC is the perfect way for us to stay connected, give back, and keep the spirit of the Chiefs alive across generations.”
John Gibbes
Former Chiefs Captain
"Rugby has always been about the bonds we form and the impact we leave. Ruakura RFC is a chance to strengthen those bonds and ensure that what we built on the field continues off it.”
