East Arnhem

About East Arnhem

The East Arnhem Rugby Union, formed in 2004, is based in Nhulunbuy on the Gove Peninsula in the Northern Territory, a remote community about 1,000 kilometres by road east of Darwin and, according to NT Rugby, the most remote union in Australia. Its teams first entered tournaments as Gove Rugby and are regulars at the Darwin Hottest 7s and the SCC 7s, where they have lifted the Bowl twice (2003 as Gove, and 2017) and the Jug in 2015. The union received NT Rugby's inaugural Vince Kelly Regional Achievement Award. Last year they lost to Palmyra in the Bowl quarter-finals and to Stockholm Exiles in the Jug semi-finals.
