North Harbour Stadium is a multi-purpose venue on Auckland’s North Shore. Thoughtfully designed for rugby, football, AFL and baseball, the 1400-seat stadium has become a hub of sport, home to New Zealand Football, Northern Football Federation, North Harbour Rugby, Marist North Harbour Rugby Club, Harbour Sport and Auckland Tuatara. Gear up for a gripping game day – this stadium hosts high-profile sporting events and often welcomes regional favouite the Blues to play rugby union. 

Swap your Blues merch for your best threads and take to the floor for a live performance, as the stadium also opens its doors for music, festivals, and the circus! If you’re putting on your own show, hire one of nine unique function spaces, ranging from a whole floor for large exhibitions to private suites for smaller meetings. 

The stadium sits at the heart of the 23-hectare North Shore Domain, which boasts an oval field and five sporting fields, including two artificial turfs for the community to enjoy. Whether it’s game day or girls night, there’s something for everyone.
