The New Zealand Warriors (formerly the Auckland Warriors) are a professional rugby league team based in Auckland, New Zealand. They compete in the National Rugby League premiership which is Australasia's elite rugby league championship

The Warriors were founded in 1995 as 'Auckland' as part of the Australian Rugby League's expansion. As a result of the Super League war they left the ARL to compete in the Super League competition in 1997 before joining the newly-formed NRL the following year. The Warriors made it to the 2002 Grand Final but have yet to win a premiership. They are based at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.
