Tenambit is home to the East Maitland Eagles, who play in the Newcastle and Hunter Rugby Union.[8][9] Their playing strip consists of red, blue and white.

Reformed in 2007, the team has achieved yearly success, reaching the semi-finals in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and also taking out the minor and major premierships in C grade in 2010.[9][10][11][12][13][14]

The club has also produced two Bert McGregor Medalists - Craig Clark in 2007 and Adam Hewitt in 2010. (The Bert McGregor Medal is awarded to the Best & Fairest player in 2nd Division (C Grade)).[15]
