Our Story

About Wauchope Thunder

Born in 2015 from a passion for rugby and community. Built on respect, discipline, and unity.

Our History

The Wauchope Thunder Rugby Club was established in 2015 at Andrews Park, Wauchope NSW 2446. In just a few short years, we've grown from a small group of passionate rugby lovers into one of the most respected clubs on the Mid North Coast.

Our proudest moments include winning the 2023 Southern Comp Premiership for our men's team and the 2019 Women's Premiership for our Thunderbirds.

But our success isn't measured only in trophies. It's in the friendships formed, the confidence built, and the community strengthened through every training session, game, and social event.
