Chiefs Manawa
The Chiefs Manawa are a New Zealand women's professional rugby union team based in Hamilton, New Zealand, that competes in the Super Rugby Aupiki competition.
Chiefs Manawa won the inaugural season of the Super Rugby Aupiki competition. They went undefeated throughout the season and beat the Blues Women 35–0 in the final round to claim the title.
In 2023 they continued their winning streak throughout the regular season, however were defeated by Matatū in the final.
The Chiefs Manawa were finalists for the third straight year in 2024 facing the Blues Women at Eden Park but once again finished runner-up. However, following the final they re-connected to field a Chiefs Manawa Development XV to face the USA ahead of their PAC4 test against the Black Ferns. The Chiefs Manawa Development XV tied with the US in the training game 29–29.
The Chiefs and Blues women created history when they clashed in the first-ever women's Super Rugby match in New Zealand on 1 May 2021. The game was hosted by the Blues at Eden Park and was played as a double header before the Round 10 Super Rugby Aotearoa match between their men's teams. The Chiefs were sponsored by the Waitomo Group, which is a Waikato-based fuel company, and were named Waitomo Wahine Chiefs.
The Chiefs proved too good for the Blues women and dealt them a major defeat in their historic match. They won 39–12 as both teams exhibited their skills and scored some impressive tries.
On 6 October 2021, New Zealand Rugby confirmed an elite Four-team women's competition called Super Rugby Aupiki for March 2022. The competition would run for four weeks with the women being paid for their participation.
The Chiefs released a list of player signings along with the other three teams in November 2021. The coaching set-up was announced later with Allan Bunting named as Head Coach, he would be assisted by Crystal Kaua and Rodney Gibbs.
