The Bush Rugby Football Union was a provincial rugby union team from New Zealand, existing between 1890 and 1971.

The original plan was to include Dannevirke and name the team "70 Mile Bush", but the Dannevirke club instead opted to remain part of Hawke's Bay.

[1] In 1971 Bush amalgamated with the Wairarapa Rugby Football Union to form Wairarapa Bush Rugby Football Union.

In 1950 the Wairarapa and Bush unions put up a combined team to play the touring British Lions, losing 13–27.

[2] Bush had seven unsuccessful challenges for the Ranfurly Shield between 1927 and 1968: Bush had only one All Black, Athol "Tonk" Mahoney, who represented New Zealand in 26 matches between 1929 and 1936.
