One platform for New Zealand clubs
From rugby and netball to bowls and community trusts, ClubHelix gives Kiwi clubs a modern website with registration, payments, fixtures and comms behind it — and every plan starts free.
Free plan to start · The demo is a real, fully populated club site
Built for volunteer committees
Role-based access, guided setup and an in-app assistant mean the next committee inherits a system, not a mystery.
Trans-Tasman club culture
Ladders, pennants, club nights and prize-givings — the vocabulary and workflows match how NZ clubs actually operate.
Everything in one subscription
Website, members, events, shop, email and competitions in one plan — no bolting together form tools and newsletter apps.
New Zealand clubs juggle the same jobs as clubs everywhere: renewals chased over winter, fixtures published late, a website nobody can update. ClubHelix replaces the patchwork with one system your whole committee can run — club membership software, website builder and communications in a single login.
Start with a template, put the club’s colours on it, and the working parts are already wired in — online registration that feeds the member database, fixtures and results on the public site, event tickets, a club shop, and email that actually reaches members.
Committees change; the platform shouldn’t. Access is role-based, records live in one place, and the audit trail means the incoming secretary can see exactly how things were done — handover in minutes, not a winter of archaeology.
Want to see it before you commit? Click through the live demo club — a real, fully populated site — then start on the free plan and build at your own pace.
Sound familiar?
The jobs that eat volunteer evenings — and what happens to them on ClubHelix.
Winter renewals, chased one by one
Subs are due, half the club hasn’t paid, and the treasurer is cross-referencing bank statements against a membership spreadsheet that was last accurate in March.
The draw lives in a group chat
Fixtures get posted as screenshots, changes get buried under fifty replies, and someone still turns up to the wrong ground on Saturday.
A website stuck in the past
The club site still shows last season’s prize-giving. Updating it means finding the one person who knows how — and they’ve just stepped down.
One platform, one login, one handover. See everything that's included.
What clubs in New Zealand run on ClubHelix
A few of the tools volunteer committees lean on most — every one has its own detailed page, and there are many more on the features page.
Online registration & subs
Members register and pay online; the database, mailing list and paid-until dates update themselves. Family registrations and instalments included.
Learn more →Fixtures, results & ladders
Publish the draw on your public site, enter results after the game, and the ladder keeps itself current — no screenshots required.

Frequently asked questions
- Does ClubHelix work for New Zealand payments?
- Club payments run on major card processing with settlement to your club account; pricing pages show plans in your local context. Check the pricing page for current details for your region.
- Can we run our club alongside our national body’s system?
- Yes — many clubs keep their NSO-mandated registration or competition platform and use ClubHelix for the website, communications and club-side admin.
- How long does setup take?
- An afternoon for most clubs: pick a template, add your colours through the guided setup, and publish. Turn on registration, events and the shop whenever you’re ready.
- Do members need to download an app?
- No app store required — members who want the app experience install your club site to their home screen in two taps, and get push notifications, RSVPs and a digital membership card.
- What does it cost to start?
- Nothing — every club starts on the free plan, so you can build the site and try the tools before deciding. When you want the paid features, a 14-day free trial means nothing to pay today.
