Auckland League

We participate in the Auckland Under 14 Water Polo League. Teams will be entered on the basis of player numbers. Auckland League runs in Term 4.

Games can be at any of the 7 water polo pools in Auckland:

  • West Wave (our home ground)

  • Diocesan Aquatic Centre (Home of Atlantis)

  • St Cuthbert’s Aquatic Centre (Home of Sea Wolf)

  • Sacred Heart Aquatic Centre (Home of Marist)

  • AUT Millennium (MISH) (Home of North Harbour)

  • National Aquatic Centre (Home of North Harbour)

National Championships
New Zealand Water Polo runs Nationals and is separate from the Auckland League. Teams may be re-trialed for Nationals based on players interested in attending. The number of teams going to Nationals depends on the number of players who are able and willing to go. There is an additional entry fee for associated costs with this (entry fee, travel and accommodation etc). In 2026, Division 1 Nationals will be held in Auckland from Monday 14th to Thursday 17th December and Division 2 Nationals will be held in Auckland from Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th December.
