History
Taniwharau was founded in 1944 by Tonga Mahuta. It is the most successful club in Huntly, a town which once boasted four rugby league clubs – the Rangiriri Eels, Huntly South, Huntly United and Taniwharau. The club won 11 straight Waikato premierships in the 1970s and 1980s. They won the inaugural Waicoa Bay championship in 2002 and 2007. They were unbeaten in 2007, a feat that had never before been achieved at the Waikato Rugby League Premier Level. Taniwharau won the reformed Waikato Rugby League title in 2008 and 2009.
