2026 Harvey Norman All Stars: Everything you need to know

The Māori All Stars have their sights on a clean sweep as the Harvey Norman All Stars return to New Zealand for the second time.

FMG Stadium Waikato will host a triple-header, with a mixed touch, women's and men's games to be held.

The Māori men are looking to defend their title, having claimed a tense 10-6 victory in last year's clash.

The Indigenous women prevailed in 2025 after a pair of Leilani Montgomery penalty goals handed her side a thrilling 20-18 win.

From the pre-game hakas and cultural dances to the exhilarating on-field action, All Stars is the perfect way to kick off the 2026 rugby league season.
