The New Zealand Recreational Canoeing Association is the national organisation representing recreational whitewater canoeing and kayaking in New Zealand. It has over 16 member clubs corresponding to around 800 active members. Our primary objective is expressed in our purpose (above) and our work is coordinated in four portfolios:
| Conservation | Preserve New Zealand's rivers and lakes. |
| Access | Ensure public access. |
| Safety | Promote safe, enjoyable canoeing. |
| Education | Foster the kayaking community. |
The NZ Recreational Canoeing Association is affiliated to the 
NZ Canoe Federation (PO Box 11081, Hamilton, pewart{at}xtra.co.nz (Please replace the {at} with @ to email.)) which is a member of the International Canoe Federation (ICF).
The work of the NZRCA is coordinated by the Executive & Officers elected at the Annual General Meeting.
The NZRCA publishes a quarterly newsletter, called 'NZ Canoeing' featuring news, articles and trip reports about the whitewater kayaking scene in New Zealand.
The NZRCA recognises outstanding achievements or contributions in the area of recreational canoeing through the Canoeist of the Year award.
