Description
Sponsored by Ruakura Rugby Football Club
Ruakura RFC Gala Dinner & Club Launch
Friday 29 May 2026 – The Pa, University of Waikato
This will be a premium, intimate event (300 guests) and we expect it to sell out quickly.
About the Evening
The night is built around authentic storytelling from 30 years of Chiefs rugby — relaxed, unscripted and genuinely entertaining. We are bringing together a cross-section of Chiefs greats and personalities to share insights, stories and moments that shaped the club.
We will also formally recognise:
• Sam Cane (Patron)
• Liam Messam (Club Captain)
Why Get Involved
This is a great opportunity to:
• A great opportunity to network with local business leaders and build meaningful community connections
• Align with the launch of Ruakura RFC
• Be part of something that celebrates and strengthens the Chiefs legacy
