NSW Junior Rugby Union
NSWJRU is the governing Union of Junior Club Rugby in NSW and is affiliated to NSWRU.
Together with its three member Unions – Sydney Juniors, Country Juniors & NSW Schools – NSWJRU provides structured rugby competitions and representative programs for over 20,000 registered Junior Club players. We work closely with NSW Schools Rugby Union in supporting their competitions and developing the Representative pathway programs for our junior players.
NSW Juniors represents one of the largest community rugby groups in NSW and is the largest and oldest Junior Union nationally. We take a leading role with policy development for Juniors, the provision of Junior Club Rugby Pathways and strongly encourage the values and traditions of our great game.

The Annual General Meeting
of NSWJRU was held on
NSW Junior Rugby Union began existence back in 1957 and its mission over these many years has remained remarkably similar since inception - to steward and develop the game of Rugby Union across the state of New South Wales. Together with the member affiliates of Sydney Junior Rugby Union, NSW Country Rugby Union and NSW Schools Rugby Union we oversee and deliver the various club and schools competitions run each season, alongside the Representative Programs and pathways.
The three affiliate bodies are responsible for the running of their own regular season club and school competitions. From these competitions they will select Representative sides which will compete at various carnivals predominantly run by NSWJRU and NSWRU. These Representative games all make up the pathway to the NSW GEN BLUE team selections and from here to potential Australian sides.
