New Zealand Football's rules govern how the organisation operates. They set objectives for the organisation and cover such matters as the process for electing board members and the relationship between the governing body and the seven federations. The rules also highlight individual bodies with the organisation (Appeals Committee, Women's Advisory Group etc) and their roles.
