GWM Game Day Guide: Women in League Round

The One New Zealand Warriors have marked the Women in League Round with events in the countdown to game day which started earlier in the week with an inaugural ‘Women in the Warriors’ breakfast hosting the club’s wahine for a morning of connection and inspiration. 

It continues with a two-day final selection camp rounding off the inaugural Harvey Norman Heartland Female Athlete Programme for 16 selected players from the eight camps held throughout the country since late last year.

They assembled in Auckland on Friday for a behind the scenes experience including time with the club’s NRLW squad.

Match day sponsor Maxigesic is bringing back the Maxigesic Cup for another year. This is a three-round competition with teams taking part in the Harvey Norman Relay Race, the first taking place at halftime in the NRLW match, round two following between the NRLW and NRL games and the grand final at halftime in the NRL contest when the 2026 champions will be crowned.

Rounding out the Women in League Round entertainment programme will be a live performance by top-selling New Zealand singer-songwriter Gin Wigmore. 

Among regular features Persil Junior Footy will kick off at 4.20pm while there’ll be loads of other highlights including the One New Zealand sign making station, Chemist Warehouse passing wall, One New Zealand game day flags, Harvey Norman try banners, GWM tow bar challenge, Harvey Norman braiding station the V-Legendairy.
