Māori cricket in Tāmaki Makaurau is a proud and growing part of our sporting community, bringing together whānau, whakapapa, and a shared love of the game. Rooted in kaupapa Māori values such as whanaungatanga (connection), manaakitanga (care and respect), and kotahitanga (unity), Māori cricket provides a space where players can compete strongly on the field while celebrating culture.
Each year, our representative teams proudly compete at the Māori National Cricket Championships, showcasing the depth of talent within our region and representing Tāmaki Makaurau with mana. These tournaments are a highlight of our calendar, strengthening whanaungatanga and connection to Māoritanga, while providing high-level competition and unforgettable experiences for our players.
It’s about more than just runs and wickets, it’s about building leaders, strengthening identity, and representing our communities with pride. Whether you’re an experienced cricketer or new to the game, Tāmaki Makaurau Kirikiti welcomes you to be part of our kaupapa grounded in culture and community.
