Welcome to RSL New Zealand website Serving the badminton community worldwide since 1928.

The Auckland Badminton Association was formed in 1930. The sport enjoyed steady growth and by the 1960's badminton in the region had reached such a size that the Counties, Waitemata (now Waitakere) and finally North Shore (now North Harbour) associations were founded.
