NZ National Competition : 2010-17 Summary

Eight years of competition so what do we learn? That Auckland is the hub of NZ RL, with Canterbury is not far behind as the main South Island RL centre. Considering the size of Canterbury RL compared to Auckland, they box above their weight. The Waicoa Bay - come - Waikato would be next. Wellington would traditionally have been third but it has fallen away recently.

Counties-Manukau narrowly lead in the league but come the finals, and Akarana dominate, making them the most successful team (for an overview of the teams, simply click here). For the 2017 season, click here. The 2010 season can be accessed by clicking here.
