Description
New Zealand's largest stadium, Eden Park annually hosts half a million local and international sports fans and patrons who attend matches and functions.
Eden Park has been the home of Auckland Cricket since 1910 and Auckland Rugby since 1925. Eden Park's 100 year history boasts some of New Zealand's proudest sporting moments, including the 1950 Empire Games, inaugural 1987 Rugby World Cup and 1992 Cricket World Cup.
Most recently, Eden Park was named the finals venue for the Rugby World Cup 2011 and the co-host for the Cricket World Cup 2015. The Park is being redeveloped to a 60,000 seat capacity in time for Rugby World Cup 2011.
The Park is located in the heart of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city and is well served by arterial roads, bus and rail. It is centrally located in the vibrant suburb of Kingsland less than 3km from the CBD.
