The Bush Rugby Football Union is a former provincial rugby union team from New Zealand, existing between 1890 and 1971.

The union was formed on 19 April 1890 at Pahiatua by the Pahiatua, Woodville and Eketāhuna rugby football clubs. The original plan was to include Dannevirke and name the team “70 Mile Bush”, but the Dannevirke club instead opted to remain part of Hawke’s Bay.

In 1971 Bush amalgamated with the Wairarapa Rugby Football Union to form Wairarapa Bush Rugby Football Union.

Wairarapa and Bush unions put up a combined team(s) to play the touring international sides from 1908 through to 1966. Opponents included were: Anglo-Welsh, South Africa, New South Wales, British Isles and Australia.
