The Northern Territory Rugby Union, or NTRU, is the governing body for the sport of rugby union within the Northern Territory in Australia. It is a member of Rugby Australia.[1]
The Northern Territory Rugby Union manages competitions in several age groups and divisions, involving clubs from Darwin, Alice Springs, Katherine, and Nhulunbuy.[2]
The NTRU also hosts the annual Hottest 7s tournament in Darwin, which draws Rugby 7s teams from around Australia and overseas and awards prize money to the winners.[3][4]
Rugby union in Darwin started after Cyclone Tracy when there were many young men involved in the clean up and reconstruction of the city. The NTRU was founded in 1975.[5]
The First Grade competition is contested by 5 teams from the Darwin area.
