Arguably the largest sports ground in Auckland, Eden Park is known for hosting an array of international sports. A sporting venue since the 1900s, the prestigious stadium has garnered a favourable reputation over the years, cementing its recognition as the leading international rugby park in Auckland.

Initially home to the world of cricket, Eden Park hosted its inaugural cricket match in 1910 and became the official home to the Auckland Rugby Union in 1925. A charming sight for the first time visitor will be its remarkable infrastructure. Rich in historical and social value, the tours around the Auckland rugby park will enthral visitors, bringing much insight to its fascinating past.  A one of a kind experience will be the behind-the-scenes tour, providing an informative and interactive experience, ideal for sports enthusiasts of all ages.

Unmatched by other stadiums around the country, Eden Park has an impressive international profile. The park prides itself in being the only venue for hosting some of New Zealand’s epic sporting moments, including the Cricket World Cup in 1992 and the Empire World Games in 1950. Contributing greatly to the dynamic sports culture of Auckland, it has the capacity to accommodate 60, 0000 people.

Situated near the Central Business District of Auckland, Eden Park straddles the boundary between Mt. Eden and Kingsland. Nestled amidst a trendy suburb, the sports ground is set to become the first stadium to host two Rugby World Cup Finals in the history of the tournament. Having held its inaugural Rugby World Cup Final in 1987, it will break the world record when the finals for 2011 take place.
