New Zealand Marist XV
The first New Zealand Marist team was fielded at the Masterton Golden Games in 1963. Every year a New Zealand Marist XV is selected from within the NZ Marist affiliated Clubs to play the New Zealand Heartland XV at a venue around the country. It is a match recognised as a first-class game.
New Zealand Marist Colts [U23 years]
The concept of the New Zealand Marist Colts tour began in 1974 with the first game against the Wellington second grade representative team. The following year a tour of Nelson, Blenheim and Wellington took place. The concept has been continued each year with alternate tours of unions in the North and South Islands.
