It is a fast running contact sport, played on a circular field, involving imaginative handling and swift inter passing of a "ki" (ball). Before the arrival of Europeans, Ki-o-Rahi was played by Maori throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand. Often different tribes would play different adaptations of the game. Due to missionary influence, European colonisation and the New Zealand Wars, most traditional Maori "mahi-a-rongo"/"rehia" (pleasurable past-times) had all but disappeared by the 1870s.
Game Description
A large team game played between two teams – a minimum of 14 players for 7 a side. Ki-o-rahi is a fast-paced contact sport that uses a circular field with concentric circles. Games are played between a defending 'taniwha' team and an attacking 'kioma' team. A game is played for 4 quarters or 2 halves of a set time, teams alternate roles of Kioma and Taniwha at half or quarter time. Teams score points by touching the tupu (central marker) with the ball. Rules vary from place to place, and the game can be played as a touch or tackle sport. The increasingly popular game of ki-o-rahi is fast-moving and suitable for all ages
