Auckland's second-biggest rugby stadium, which usually plays host to North Harbour Rugby, was opened as recently as 1997, making it one of the newest stadia in New Zealand. Its capacity for sporting events is 25,000.

The North Harbour Stadium will play host to four matches in the 2011 Rugby World Cup, including a couple of South Africa's pool games: France v Japan (10 Sept.), Australia v Italy (11 Sept.), South Africa v Namibia (22 Sept.) and South Africa v Samoa (30 Sept.).
