A geological wonder, the Land of the Long White Cloud is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes - from glacial mountains to soft, sandy beaches, and all the lush forests and clear lakes in between - and the hospitality of its inhabitants. Despite being intense competitors, these friendly islanders will be there with a handshake and refreshments even after the toughest of fixtures.
Rugby Union isn’t just New Zealand's national sport; it’s a national obsession. Since the first oval ball was kicked in the colony in 1870, through to the World Cup win in 1987 and the subsequent failures to recapture the trophy, rugby has been ingrained in the country’s cultural identity. Today, the All Blacks are one of the most immediately recognisable sporting teams on the planet; an international brand whose results affect the mood of the nation. In fact, it could be said that the reason New Zealanders are so hospitable is that the national team don’t lose very often. Other Kiwi teams on the world stage include the All Whites (men's football), Black Ferns (women’s rugby), the Silver Ferns (netball), the Black Caps (cricket), the Tall Blacks (basketball) and the Black Sticks (hockey). While rugby touring teams are likely to get the most out of visit to New Zealand in terms of competition (there are over 140,000 registered players and 520 clubs) , that isn’t to say that other sports are neglected. Soccer is one of the most popular participation sports in the country, with the All Whites' recent success at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa highlighting their prospects for the future. OK, they didn't qualify from the group stages but they remained undefeated throughout their three matches, including a superb draw with Italy that plotted the Azzuri's downfall from the majestic event. Netball enjoys a strong following among females of all ages, and cricket is also played widely.
Overlooking Cook Strait, the passage of water running between the North and South Islands, New Zealand’s capital is suitably situated at the geographic centre of the country. Although occasionally overshadowed by larger Auckland, the “Windy City” revels in a compact layout and has a surprising number of facilities for its size; Wellington has more bars, restaurants and cafes per head than New York City.

“The Garden City” is the largest on the South Island and well deserving of its nickname; trees line the suburbs and the River Avon, which bisects the central urban district. Away from the abundant natural beauty, Christchurch retains all of the amenities and attractions that a sports tourer might expect from a city its size, including museums, wildlife reserves, parks and gardens.

Built in the middle of the Taupo Volcanic Zone, Rotorua is surrounded by geothermal marvels with water vents and hot springs emerging from the landscape. Unsurprisingly, many of the town’s attractions are based around these natural phenomena as visitors flock to witness bubbling mud pools and exploding geysers. These aren’t the only hot spots as Rotorua is known to some as “Roto-Vegas” thanks to the neon lit casinos and bars of its main street. Enquire now
Known as the “City of Sails” thanks to the large number of yachts in the Waitemata Harbour, Auckland also boasts stunning natural beauty with over 40 extinct volcanoes under and around the city. Culturally, there is a strong Polynesian flavour thanks to a healthy appreciation of indigenous Maori customs and a high number of expatriates from the Pacific Island nations. Enquire now
Sitting on the banks of Lake Wakatipu and bordered by the Southern Alps mountain range, Queenstown is a haven for adrenaline junkies. Skiing, bungy jumping, jet boating and mountain biking are just some of the activities found in the town and its surrounding area. During the ski season, Queenstown becomes a party centre with visitors taking full advantage of generous licensing that allows most bars to stay open ‘til 5am. Enquire now
