The 2017 NRL Auckland Nines was the fourth NRL Auckland Nines competition. It was held on 4–5 February 2017 at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand.[1] Just like previous tournaments, it was contested by all sixteen National Rugby League teams. The prize money was NZ$2.6 million. The draw for the competition was announced by the NRL on 17 November 2016. [2] The same pool names were used as in the 2015 and 2016 tournaments. The pool names were: Hunua, Waiheke, Rangitoto and Piha. The event included two international women's teams, the Kiwi Ferns and the Jillaroos, who competed in a three-game series won by the Jillaroos for the first time, with a 3-0 clean sweep. The tournament was again sponsored by Downer Group. The Sydney Roosters won the tournament by defeating the Penrith Panthers 10-8 in the final.
