About Vodafone Warriors

The Vodafone Warriors,now owned by Autex Industries,are established as one of the country's most powerful sporting brands competing in the NRL (National Rugby League). Based at Mount Smart Stadium,the club came to life on Friday,March 10,1995 when the originally named Auckland Warriors made their debut against the Brisbane Broncos in the then-Winfield Cup. Entering their 26th season in 2020,the Warriors stand alone as New Zealand's biggest and oldest professional sporting franchise. They've paved the way for a number of New Zealand codes (including netball,football,basketball and baseball) to enter Australian competitions.

The Vodafone Warriors have reached the NRL grand final twice (2002 and 2011),won the minor premiership in 2002,qualified for the finals eight times,and netted the now-defunct National Youth Competition (under-20) title three times (2010,2011 and 2014). A total of 239 players have represented the Vodafone Warriors,four of whom have appeared in more than 200 NRL matches,with Simon Mannering becoming the first to reach the 300-game mark for the club in his final season in 2018. Current head coach Stephen Kearney,a foundation player from 1995-1998,returned to the club as head coach for the 2017 campaign.
