Rugby Museum Palmerston North
New Zealands's National Rugby Museum
NZ National Rugby Museum in Palmerston North is run by an Historical Society that makes it unique worldwide. This Rugby Museum is the oldest and arguably the first Rugby Museum in the world devoted to the oval ball code. Founded in 1970 and is dedicated to recording and displaying the passing parade of Rugby Union football from all countries where the game is played.
The NZ Rugby Museum has the most comprehensive collection of Rugby momentos anywhere, covering the years since the commencement of the national game in 1870 right up to the present day.
The Rugby Museum displays caps, jerseys, trophies, autographed balls, badges, photographs, blazers, ties - all the mementos and souvenirs from wherever the game is played. The Rugby Museum contains New Zealand's biggest and most comprehensive collection of rugby memorabilia and records, including some of the world's rarest rugby artefacts.
Located within easy walking distance of the Palmerston North City centre and with off-street parking available, the Rugby Museum operates from well-lit, carpeted premises. A sound system provides a rugby background, whilst recent videos are available for viewing.
Group visits, by arrangement, are especially welcome. Whilst Rugby Museum staff are happy to talk groups around the Museum they believe it is preferable to let visitors browse the well captioned and very visual displays, with Museum personnel circulating and answering questions as they arise.
