History

East Tamaki was initially founded as a "branch" of Otahuhu RFC. However, with the influx of Polynesian immigrants to the Ōtara and East Tāmaki area in the 1960s, East Tamaki broke away from Otahuhu, becoming an independent club in 1962. Today, the club has junior and senior teams, with age grades ranging from under-6 to over-60. To date, the club has never won the Gallaher Shield, the premier senior men's trophy in Auckland rugby.

The club has produced a number of players who have gone on to play international rugby:
