The City Newton Dragons are a defunct New Zealand rugby league club that was based at Victoria Park, Auckland.[1] The club was created in 1948 by a merger of two original clubs, the City Rovers and Newton Rangers. Both the Rovers and the Rangers participated in the inaugural Auckland Rugby League competition in 1910.

The club is now incorporated into the Ponsonby United Rugby League club, who play in the city colours annually to keep the club name alive.

City won the Auckland Rugby League's first competition, being awarded the Myers Cup.[2] The Cup had been donated by Arthur Myers.[3]

The club won premierships in 1912 and 1927.

1948-present

The City Rovers and Newton Rangers clubs amalgamated to form City Newton in 1948.[4]

During the 1960s the Auckland Rugby League instituted a districts programme and Ellerslie, City Newton and Eastern Suburbs combined to form Eastern Districts. The combination won almost every trophy between 1960 and 1963 before the clubs regained their separate identities.

In 2001 City Newton competed in the Auckland Rugby League's second division, the Sharman Cup.[5]

The City Newton Sports Club Incorporated was struck off as an Incorporated Society on 17 June 2004.[6]
