Eden was formed in 1922, and in 1930 moved to Gribblehirst Park, where the club has been based since.[1] Eden are the closest club in Auckland to Eden Park, with the club having attempted to build their clubrooms at the ground in the 1920s. To date, Eden have not won the Gallaher Shield. Five All Blacks - Bruce McLeod, Frank McMullen, Ron Urlich, Ron Dobson and Hud Rickett - have played for the club, though not at the time of their international selection.
