The Northland Events Centre is a brand new multi-function events centre in Whangarei. Following upgrades completed in 2011, it boasts a larger capacity as well as a conference and function centre and changing rooms, food and retail facilities.
The stadium is the traditional home of Rugby for Northland. In 1979, the stadium held an infamous match attended by a record breaking crowd of 40,000 as local side North Auckland defended the prized Ranfurly Shield against rivals Auckland.
The stadium has held several international games such as the 1998 test between the New Zealand Māori and Tonga and has seen Northland take on a number of touring international sides such as the British and Irish Lions, and Tonga, Samoa and Fiji in the mid 1990's.
