    Four days, one incredible test at Seddon Park! The highly anticipated BLACKCAPS v England 3rd Test came to a close at Seddon Park this week. We couldn’t think of a better way to end 2024 and begin our international summer cricket season. It was a privilege to host not only the last test of the England series but also the final game for local legend Tim Southee. The lead-up to this test has been incredible, and the atmosphere at Seddon Park was truly electric, with fans from across the world joining us to watch history unfold and our BLACKCAPS secure a win on home turf here in Hamilton. This event couldn’t have happened without our key event partners at NEW ZEALAND CRICKET, Northern Districts Cricket Association, Red Badge Group, Spotless Group, and our dedicated H3 team. We look forward to welcoming the BLACKCAPS v Sri Lanka in the New Year! 📷 Photosport

  • In 2025, FMG Stadium Waikato will host both the One NZ Warriors and the All Blacks. The pre-season match will be Warriors supporters' only opportunity to see the team play on NZ soil before they travel to Las Vegas. In July, the All Blacks will play France for the first time in Hamilton, almost three years after the All Blacks' triumph over Argentina at FMG Stadium Waikato, which drew more than 14,800 visitors from surrounding regions.    We are extremely proud to welcome both high-profile events and look forward to hosting passionate rugby league and rugby supporters from across the country.
