Welcome to the Taupo Bridge Club, a vibrant and welcoming community in the heart of Taupo, New Zealand. Visitors are always welcome to join us for a game of bridge. Our table fee is $5, and we kindly ask that you bring exact change as we operate a contactless payment system.

At the Taupo Bridge Club, we offer a variety of sessions and events to cater to players of all skill levels. Our session times have changed for 2024, with night sessions starting at 7pm and Tuesday sessions starting at 2pm. We also hold monthly competitions starting in February, where any pair can participate. If you are unable to attend a session, you are allowed to have a substitute player, but please inform the Director before the start of play.

Our club website features a Members Area with a wealth of information and resources. In the Calendar section, you can stay up to date with upcoming club events. The Championships section showcases the winners of past events, and the Competitions section highlights the winners of our annual trophies.

Bridge, also known as contract bridge, is a popular trick-taking card game played with a standard deck of 52 cards. It involves two competing partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other. Millions of people worldwide play bridge, making it one of the most popular card games globally. The World Bridge Federation governs international competitive bridge.

At Taupo Bridge Club, we believe that bridge is more than just a card game. It is a mentally stimulating exercise that improves memory and sharpens wits. Beyond the tables, bridge fosters friendship and loyalty within our community.

Come and join us at Taupo Bridge Club for an enjoyable and rewarding bridge experience. Our friendly members and beautiful setting await you.
