For over a hundred years Eden Park has been the home of Auckland Cricket and Auckland Rugby. It's a history full of rich sporting moments. Many major rugby and cricket matches have been hosted at the Park most recently the Rugby World Cup 2011 and the Cricket World Cup 2015. In 2015 Eden Park is the host for the Bledisloe Cup, ITM Cup, Super Rugby, Georgie Pie Super Smash, Wellington Phoenix Football and Dick Smith NRL Auckland Nines games. With a seating capacity just under 50,000 seats, Eden Park creates an unmatched atmosphere to experience LIVE sport in New Zealand.
The Park is located in the heart of Auckland, and is well served by arterial roads, buses and trains. It is centrally located in the vibrant suburb of Kingsland less than 3km from the CBD. While Eden Park is most notably remembered for hosting the 2011 Rugby World Cup Final, it has been the home of Auckland Cricket, Auckland Rugby and international events since the early 1900s. In 2015, Eden Park was co-host for the Cricket World Cup and host for many other events such as the Dick Smith NRL Auckland Nines, Bledisloe Cup, ITM Cup, Super Rugby, Football, plus international and domestic cricket games.
With state-of-the-art facilities and services, Eden Park successfully hosts sell-out crowds of up to 50,000 on match days and many non-match day functions. During the 2011 Rugby World Cup, temporary seating was used above the East and West Stands to increase the seating to 60,000 capacity. After the World Cup these seats were dismantled and sent overseas for the London Olympics.
Eden Park has two Super Suites available for hire, both of which are located in the South Stand at Eden Park. With amazing views directly overlooking the famous No 1 field these spaces are perfect for an offsite meeting or used as a breakout room in conjunction with a conference. Both rooms have a small kitchenette and bathroom facilities located directly inside the room. Eden Park also offers free car parking within the stadium grounds. Eden Park has retractable seats positioned at the base of the South Stand. When retracted, they complete the area required for international cricket, with the wicket running north to south.
