Established in 1877, Maitland Blacks Rugby Club has a long and storied history in the Maitland region. With over 140 years of rugby tradition, our club has played a significant role in the development and promotion of the sport in the area. We are proud to be one of the oldest rugby clubs in Australia.

Our club boasts exceptional facilities that cater to players of all ages and skill levels. We have well-maintained playing fields, modern changing rooms, and a clubhouse that serves as a hub for social gatherings and post-match celebrations. The clubhouse features a fully equipped gym, meeting rooms, and a bar where members can relax and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow players and supporters.

We strive to be more than just a sports club; we aim to create a supportive and inclusive environment for our members and their families. Through community engagement programmes and charitable initiatives, we actively contribute to the well-being of our local community.

We welcome players of all ages and genders, from 4-year-old boys and girls to adult men and women. Our club also offers a Netball Club for those interested in participating in a different sport.

Our club hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including club socials, fundraisers, and community gatherings. These events provide an opportunity for members to come together and celebrate our shared love for rugby. Additionally, we regularly organise coaching clinics and workshops to enhance the skills and knowledge of our players.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our major sponsor, The Imperial Hotel, for their continuous support.
