Eden Park is one of New Zealand's premier sporting complexes which hosts a number of prominent local, national and international sporting events. It is the largest sporting venue in New Zealand.
As the main venue for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, Eden Park has been expanded to accommodate 50,000 people with temporary seating for a further 10,000 for RWC 2011. This included a new South Stand as well as renovations to the existing East and West Stands.
Our Brief
