The North Shore Rugby Football Club was established in May 1873, making North Shore the oldest club in Auckland and also one of the oldest in New Zealand. The club has been based at Devonport Domain since the early twentieth century and adopted its current green and white hoops in 1935.
The club won the Auckland Championship on one occasion, in 1899 and has won the North Harbour championship on four occasions - 1987, 1988, 1992 and 2011.
