Otago University Rugby Football Club

We Need Your Help

When you think of the Otago University Rugby Football Club, no doubt, many memories flood back - memories of shared experiences and lasting friendships. Lifelong bonds were made, our characters were developed, and our careers on and off the field were built.

Today, we are reaching out to you with a simple message: we humbly need your help. Just as you once contributed to the proud legacy of the club, we now need you to help sustain and provide the same opportunities for the next generation.

The Impact of Your Support

When you give to the Club, your support directly impacts the players who are carrying the torch for our club’s proud rugby tradition. Here’s how your contribution can make a difference:

OURFC High Performance Programme (HPP) - The landscape of club rugby has shifted, with many clubs focusing on financial incentives for players, which has undermined the amateur spirit of the game. We see this approach as detrimental to player growth and aims to restore focus on holistic development. Through the HPP, we will offer pastoral, cultural, nutritional, psychological, and rugby developmental care to our players. The HPP is our solution to the changing rugby environment. This programme is designed to provide our players with the comprehensive support they need to excel, both on and off the field. To fully implement the OURFC HPP, we need your help. Specifically, we require funding for a partially paid Rugby Development Officer role, a critical position that will oversee the construction and implementation of the programme. This role will ensure that the programme is executed with the passion and dedication it deserves.
General Support for the Club: Even the day-to-day operations of the Club require financial resources. Every little bit helps keep our club running smoothly and allows us to provide the best experience possible for our players
