Rugby League Hawkes Bay

The RLHB run the local club competition and are responsible for the Hawke's Bay rugby league team.[3] In 1989, after many years without regular access to local grounds, the Premier and Reserve club finals were both played at McLean Park.Among those present were NZRL president George Rainey and chief executive Mike Knowles who with HBRL chairman Kel Lenord met with the Mayor of Napier and other city council personnel that day.It was as a result of the progress rugby league was starting to make again in Hawke's Bay, including access to the park, that the opening game of the 1990 Great Britain tour of New Zealand was played there, against a NZ President's X111.In the mid-2000s the Hawkes Bay and Gisborne Tairawhiti Rugby League ran a combined club competition called the Eastern Alliance.
