Hammond coached Auckland in 1978 and 1979. The New Zealand Rugby League Museum opened in December 2007 at Rugby League House, 7 Beasley Avenue, Penrose, Auckland, and was expanded in late 2010. On May 14, 1870, he organized the inaugural rugby match between Nelson College and Nelson Football Club in his hometown of Nelson.
