The ASB Classic 2026 returns to Auckland this summer, once again hosting both the WTA Tour and ATP 250 tournaments at the Manuka Doctor Arena. Fans can look forward to seeing some of the world’s biggest names in action, with former World No.1 and four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka already confirmed for the women’s draw, alongside rising American star Iva Jovic and New Zealand’s own No.1 Lulu Sun. On the men’s side, last year’s champion Gaël Monfils is set to return, with more top international players being announced soon.
Beyond the court, the ASB Classic offers a unique summer experience in Tāmaki Makaurau. Visitors can relax and enjoy outstanding food and beverage, upgraded terraces and shaded areas, and lively partner activations that make the precinct more than just a tennis venue, it’s a festival of sport, style, and entertainment. The 2026 edition promises world-class competition, a buzzing atmosphere, and unforgettable moments both on and off the court.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira
Public transport is the easiest way to reach the ASB Classic. Take a train to Britomart (10–15 min walk), buses along Parnell Rise, Beach Rd or Grafton Rd, or ferries into Downtown (15 min flat walk). Pro tip: Skip parking stress, take a train or ferry and enjoy a summer stroll through the city. Taxi / Uber YourRide, Co-op Taxis, and Uber can drop at Gate 1 (Grafton Mews). Pick-up zones are at Gate 1, but after busy sessions it’s quicker to meet a block away on Nicholls Lane. Driving Parking is limited. Street parking is available around Parnell/University precincts, or use city car parks (e.g., Victoria St, 15–20 min walk).
