One NZ Stadium

2026 signals the beginning of a bold new chapter for rugby in Canterbury.

After 13 remarkable seasons at our much-loved “Temporary Forever” ground, Apollo Projects Stadium, we’re preparing to step into our new home — One New Zealand Stadium, where the field, the stands, and the suites will belong to our community.

This is more than just a new home for our professional teams

It’s a place for our whole rugby community

From junior players and clubs through to our representative sides and fans, this new stadium represents a fresh chapter for everyone who loves the game in Canterbury.

As we look ahead, we’re proud to create opportunities for our people, partners, and supporters to share in this next era together.
