Indian migrants have lived in New Zealand for over 100 years. From humble beginnings the Indian population of New Zealand has grown to over 150,000. Since 1962 NZISA has grown to cater to a range of people throughout the Indian community.

Our aim is to celebrate our unique and vibrant heritage by connecting Kiwi-Indians through a love of sport. We run a range of sporting events from social to competitive and junior to masters with an emphasis on connecting our Indian communities located around the country. 

Over the years our sporting community has evolved and as an organisation we continue to develop, however, our primary goals remain the same which are guided by our core values:

Pride - In our heritage and homes

Community - Building connections and friendships

Passion - Dedication and commitment to success 

Sportsmanship - Competitiveness without arrogance 

Integrity - Transparent processes and management.
