The vital link between Provinces and Touch NZ, driving the growth of our game through strong community connections.

There are four regional entities, each with a dedicated manager who works in partnership with Provinces and Touch NZ to lead and support the sport of touch wherever it's needed. 

These regional entities play a crucial role in ensuring touch continues to thrive at every level of the community. They act as the vital link between national strategy and local delivery - strengthening capability, improving consistency, and making sure the unique needs of each region are understood and supported. 

Because the work is community-led, the Regional Managers’ responsibilities are broad and flexible - from strategic and governance support to hands-on operations and even direct delivery when needed.
