In 2027, our club will celebrate its centenary, a remarkable milestone that reflects 100 years of friendship, commitment, and community spirit.
This promises to be one of the most special and memorable years in our club’s history, and preparations are already well underway thanks to the dedication and hard work of many members and supporters behind the scenes.
While more details will be shared soon, we are currently gathering expressions of interest for a formal celebration evening, invitational games, and a range of other events that will bring our club community together to honour this very special occasion.

Waitemata Premiers v Suburbs Premiers
Shadbolt Park, 4 July 2026
Driving to the game by the Ferret around the backstreets of New Lynn, I was contemplating that the final would be a tough event, as all Suburbs games tend to be.
Under 21’s into Grand Final
This Saturday, our Under 21s take on Ponsonby in the Arthur Bayliss Cup Final, with the Auckland Championship on the line.
This marks the first time since 2000 that a Waitemata Under 21 side has reached the final—a tremendous achievement for the players, coaches, and everyone involved.
Let's get along to Western Springs Stadium and show the team the support they deserve. Every voice in the crowd makes a difference.

See you there. Go Waitemata!

Congratulations to our women’s team on their massive fundraising efforts. @dancarter_ even happened to be there to help donate to their cause. This team is a close knit group that is working hard to grow the girls and women’s community game at Waitematā.
