The club was established in 1931 when the Auckland Rugby League Junior Management Committee accepted their application for membership in June of that year whereby they would enter a team in the Third Grade Intermediate competition .[1] They lost their first ever match versus Akarana 0–16 at Glen Eden.[2]

Between 2000 and 2005 they competed in the national Bartercard Cup.

Notable players

The following is a list of Glenora Bears players who went on to represent New Zealand and the years in which they did so.[3]

Bartercard Cup

The Bears competed in the Bartercard Cup between 2000 and 2005.

The Bears were probably the least successful of all the Auckland stand alone clubs in the competition, only making the play-offs in 2000 and never really posing a serious threat to the championship in their six-year Bartercard Cup history.

They were the only Waitakere City team in the competition and were replaced by the Waitakere Rangers, a franchise that represented all five Waitakere clubs.
