Bruce and Margaret the owners of the rugby shop

Our Story

Bruce has played rugby every year since 1964, and that passion led him to open The Rugby Shop in 1992. What started as a small operation out of the Darwin Transit Centre grew through three sites on Mitchell Street, before settling into its current home at the old Woolworths Building on Smith Street, Darwin City. More than three decades on, The Rugby Shop is run by Bruce and Margaret, and remains a true Territory-born and bred business

Officially Licensed, Territory Proud

The Rugby Shop stocks officially licensed gear across NRL, Super Rugby Pacific, the Wallabies, All Blacks and international rugby, alongside lifestyle wear, training gear and Crocs. Beyond the big leagues, the Local Stuff range covers Northern Territory rugby culture too, including Mad Cows, Croc & Roll, NT Rugby, Hottest 7's and Masters 10's, gear you won't find at a big-box sports store.

  • Built on Local Rugby

    As a Territory-born business, The Rugby Shop supports the local game directly through teamwear and sponsorship, helping outfit clubs and competitions across the NT.
