A 1996 Auckland RFC NPC jersey was worn in New Zealand’s National Provincial Championship (NPC) during the mid-1990s, a key domestic competition feeding into Super Rugby and All Blacks selection. Featuring Auckland’s traditional blue and white colour scheme, embroidered crest, and heavyweight cotton these jerseys reflect the era just after rugby turned professional in 1995. Sponsorship began becoming more visible on provincial kits during this time, but designs still remained relatively simple compared to modern standards. Auckland were one of the strongest provinces in New Zealand rugby throughout the 1990s, producing a large number of players who went on to represent the New Zealand national rugby union team and feature in the early Super Rugby competitions.
