“Manly Rugby is very proud of the role it plays in our community, both in providing wonderful opportunities for many young men and women to enjoy our sport, and for creating great experiences and life-long memories for both players and the community as a whole”
Our Club is founded on the philosophies of integrity, opportunity and resilience and we are focused on providing a positive impact on the lives of all our players, both on and off the field. Being the largest community-based sporting organization and an integral part of the local community, we aim to create lasting memories for our players and supporters. Our sponsors play an invaluable part in allowing us to achieve this and are very much part of the Marlins family.
The Mermaids have become an essential part of the Manly Rugby Club, and the exciting and reinvigorated program implemented in 2024 saw our inaugural 15-aside Mermaids team play in the premier Jack Scott Cup Grand Final.
Manly Rugby Club has a vibrant junior program, fostering the development of young players in the Northern Beaches area. The club collaborates with six junior village clubs, offering a strong pathway for children to progress from grassroots rugby to higher levels. Players in the junior program benefit from excellent coaching, community engagement, and a structured environment to develop their skills.
The juniors also have the opportunity to participate in various age-grade competitions, helping build both rugby abilities and teamwork. The program emphasizes community values and aims to provide young athletes with the tools to potentially transition into the senior ranks, with some juniors having progressed to play for the Manly Marlins first-grade team.
