The 1945 Auckland Rugby League season was its 37th. Ōtāhuhu Rovers achieved several milestones in the 1945 season. They won the Rukutai Shield for the second time but the first as a stand-alone club with their win in 1942 season coming as a combined side with City Rovers due to senior teams being depleted by the war effort. They won it by earning the most competition points during the first round.[1] Ōtāhuhu went on to win the minor championship for the first time when they finished 1 competition point ahead of the Richmond Rovers. In a somewhat confusing format the top 4 teams then played off for the major championship. Ōtāhuhu were defeated in the semi final by Ponsonby United, who then lost the final to Richmond. The league then declared that Ōtāhuhu as minor champions and Richmond as 'major' champions should play off to find the major champion for the season.[2] Ōtāhuhu won 11–5 to become the official senior club champion for the 1945 season. At a meeting on September 26 several delegates “expressed the opinion that the minor and major competitions had been a muddle and more consideration should be given to them next season”. With chairman Watson saying a conference would be arranged for a “more definite policy after consultations with all senior clubs”.[3] The Dickson medal for the most sportsmanlike player was awarded to Jim Fogarty of the Ōtāhuhu side, while V. Fredatovich won the same for the City 3rd grade team.[4] Brian Nordgren set a record for the most number of points scored in a season in all games and was presented with a silver cup. At the same time Colin Riley (Ōtāhuhu) was presented with the Painter Trophy for the most successful goal kicker.[5]
In representative competition matches Auckland had two wins over South Auckland (Waikato), another over West Coast, and two against Wellington. Auckland Māori lost to Huntly District at Davies Park in Huntly, while they also went down to Auckland Pākehā at Carlaw Park. Auckland had a strong representation in the North Island side as always in their inter-island match with South Island with 11 players selected for the team which won 18–8.
