Rugby league’s first appearance at the Basin Reserve came in 1914 when England beat Wellington 14-7. Even though this match was a positive start, rugby league’s growth stalled as the Wellington Provincial Rugby Football League struggled to secure a ground. In 1919, after the City Council’s initial rejection to their use of the Basin Reserve was reversed, the ground became the official home of rugby league in Wellington.
