Eden Park New Zealand's largest stadium and home to Rugby World Cup 2011 Games
Eden Park is New Zealand's largest stadium. Every year almost half a million local and international sports fans enjoy matches and functions at the Park.
Eden Park has been the home of Auckland Cricket since 1910 and Auckland Rugby since 1925. It'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.
Since the early 1900s it has hosted major rugby and cricket matches and is now a regular host of the Bledisloe Cup, Air New Zealand Cup, and Super 14 games.
Most recently, Eden Park was named the Finals venue for Rugby World Cup 2011 and the co-host for Cricket World Cup 2015.
Today Eden Park seats 48,000 spectators. The Park will be 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.
