Get ready for a rugby league showdown like no other! The 2026 Harvey Norman All Stars is back in Aotearoa New Zealand, marking the 15th edition of this iconic cultural event that kicks off the rugby league calendar with a bang. But here's where it gets exciting: this year’s clash promises to be more thrilling than ever, with star-studded lineups ready to battle it out on the field.
On Sunday, 15 February, FMG Stadium Waikato will host both the Men’s and Women’s fixtures, showcasing some of the sport’s biggest names. In the Men’s game, Indigenous All Stars legends like Josh Addo-Carr, Nicho Hynes, and Jack Wighton will face off against the Māori All Stars, led by Warriors captain James Fisher-Harris, star back Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, and the dynamic Panthers centre Casey McLean. And this is the part most people miss: the Women’s fixture is equally electrifying, with Titans superstar Jaime Chapman and Dragons playmaker Taliah Fuimaono representing the Indigenous Women’s All Stars against a formidable Māori side featuring Warriors recruit Gayle Broughton and Eels powerhouse Kennedy Cherrington.
But wait, there’s more! The event will also include a thrilling clash between the Indigenous and Māori Touch Football teams, adding another layer of excitement to the day. Below, you’ll find the full squads listed in alphabetical order:
