History of Auckland Croquet Association
It is believed that the Auckland Croquet Association was established by the clubs in Auckland in 1899, as the Centenary of the ACA was held in 1999. Unfortunately early records of the ACA were lost and the first available information dates from the mid 1950s.
Croquet was brought to NZ from England by early settlers after 1850 and garden croquet was a popular game at that time. The first formal croquet club was formed as part of the Ponsonby Lawn Tennis Club in 1879.
