New Zealand Rugby Museum

Founded by John Sinclair and Dr Fred Spurdle the museum's first exhibition was in April 1969.

[1] The museum was modeled after the Trophy Room in Cardiff Arms Park in Wales and the collections include equipment, clothing, books, photographs, trophies, badges, video displays and many other exhibits related to the game.

[3] The Museum was part of the REAL New Zealand Festival, a series of cultural events and activities coordinated with the hosting of the Cup.

[4] A handful of the approximately 50,000 holdings are contributed to NZMuseums, the combined catalog of museums across New Zealand.

[5] As well as collecting objects connected to key historic matches,[6] the museum also loans particular items for particular uses.
