Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund is now open

Apply to the Rural Travel Fund and get your junior sports teams to local competitions.

The Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund helps to fund travel to local sporting competitions for rural teams of tamariki and rangatahi aged between 5 and 18 years.

The funding's not available for individual players, but it can be a real help to schools and sporting clubs who want to give their junior teams the opportunity to travel and play in regular competitions.
