The Howick Hornets are a rugby league club based in Howick, New Zealand. The premier team competes in Auckland Rugby League's senior competitions. The club currently competes in the top division, the Fox Memorial Trophy. The club has a historic rivalry with neighbours, the Pakuranga Jaguars, yet both clubs support each other and join forces annually, to ensure local juniors always have a team to play in.[3] The Howick Hornets are former Fox Memorial champions, winning the historic shield twice so far (2011 & 2019) since they announced themselves in 1st division in 2010.
