About Us

PALMERSTON RUGBY UNION CLUB IS LOCATED IN PALMERSTON, APPROXIMATELY 20KM FROM DARWIN IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA.


History

Palmerston Rugby Union Club is one of the founding clubs of the Northern Territory Rugby Union, fielding teams in the original 1976/77 season.  Back then, the city of Palmerston did not exist – the club was actually named after the original European settlement in Darwin.  In 1984 the club relocated south of the Berrimah line to the newly developing suburbs of Palmerston, and in doing so became the first major sporting organisation to call Palmerston home. We have been here ever since and have continued to grow and be part of the Palmerston community.

Here’s a snapshot of memories from the club’s early history:

The Crocs Today

The club continues to provide players and supporters with the opportunity to a part of positive, family-friendly rugby union club in Palmerston. We are proud of our successes over the years, including premiership wins across all senior grades, a significant presence in representative teams and a successful junior program.

Probably the club’s greatest achievement however, has been the many people that have made up the club over the decades – the players, supporters and volunteers. Our club has thrived for over 40 years thanks to the valuable contribution of all those involved. Once you join the mighty Palmerston Crocodiles, we’re sure you will be a member for life!

Without the continued support of our valued sponsors our club would not be where we are today. We value the contribution of our players and past players with business interests, and will always support their offers of sponsorship, whether they be local businesses, from elsewhere in the Territory or from interstate. We also believe in contributing to the Palmerston business community and wherever possible, we utilise local Palmerston businesses as either club sponsors or suppliers.
