About Auckland

THE RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011

Auckland is preparing for the first time to hold this largest rugby event in the world.  The stadium at Eden Park is nearing completion, enlarged and enhanced to now contain up to 60,000 fans.  North Harbour Stadium is also hosting matches and both stadiums are less than 10 minutes from Auckland City centre.  Fans will be well served by a choice of bus, rail, ferry and taxi for transport to games.
