The Royal New Zealand Artillery Association Inc. was formed in 1934 as an advocacy group in welfare matters for both serving and non-serving New Zealand Gunners. It is a medium for continuing Gunner camaraderie, keeping in touch with and bringing together both present and past soldiers who have served the guns.

The Patron of the Association is the Governor-General of New Zealand, Her Excellency, the Rt. Hon. Dame Cindy Kiro, GNZM, QSO, DStJ.

Today, the Association’s members are active in maintaining an effective support network; participating in reunions and gatherings; preserving historic sites, archives, equipment and memorials; attending commemorations and parades; sponsoring trophies and awards; and encouraging public awareness and interest.
