Welcome the more than 288 Downer NRL Auckland Nines players back to Auckland,  in a day packed with free, fan-and-family-friendly activities.

Rugby league takes over Aotea Square from 10am to 4pm with a host of activities where fans can meet the NRL stars, including signing sessions and selfies. There will be onstage interviews with NRL Nines team captains, and an NRL members’ lounge with exclusive access for members of all NRL clubs who have travelled to Auckland for the Nines.

There will also be opportunities to buy your favourite NRL team merchandise, ready for getting it autographed by the players.

The NRL Auckland Nines Fan Day takes place the day before Auckland’s biggest summer event, the 2017 Downer NRL Auckland Nines tournament, kicks off at Eden Park.
