Now entering its third season, the U19 Club Competition continues to play a vital role in keeping young players connected to the game, supporting their transition into senior rugby, and strengthening our clubs for the future.
A four-team Bright Cup U19 competition has been confirmed with Pukekohe, Patumahoe, Manurewa and Waiuku entering sides.
This pathway provides a competitive, supportive environment where players can continue developing their skills, confidence, and leadership — while staying engaged with their teammates and communities.
By investing in youth rugby, Counties Manukau is building sustainable clubs, stronger playing depth, and clear pathways from school to club and beyond.
We’re excited to see another generation step up, take on the challenge, and represent their clubs with pride.
