History

Takapuna is one of only two teams from the current North Harbour union (the other being North Shore) to have won the Auckland championship, having done so in 1940 and 1980. Since North Shore's only win came in 1899, Takapuna are the only North Harbour club to have been awarded the Gallaher Shield. Since the establishment of the North Harbour union in 1985, Takapuna has dominated the senior competition, winning the North Harbour championship 12 out of a possible 29 times, including seven titles in a row between 1994 and 2000.
