Trusts Stadium, Multi-purpose arena in Henderson, Auckland, New Zealand
Trusts Stadium is a multipurpose arena in the Henderson suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, built for athletics, boxing, and other sporting events. It has a full track and field layout, dedicated boxing training spaces, and seating for around 5,000 people.
The stadium opened in 2004 as a joint effort between local authorities and the Waitakere City Stadium Trust. Before it was built, the Henderson area had no large dedicated sports facility, so the project filled a gap that had existed for many years.
The stadium is known across New Zealand as the home of boxing, and that identity shapes how the space feels on event nights. Fans tend to pack the lower seating areas closest to the ring, creating a close and loud setting that you rarely find in larger arenas.
The stadium sits in the Henderson suburb and is reachable by train or bus, with a large car park on site for those arriving by car. Wheelchair access is available throughout the venue, and food stands are open during events.
The venue has hosted several world-title boxing matches, which is unusual for a stadium of its size in the Southern Hemisphere. That track record has made it a preferred destination for promoters looking to stage championship bouts in the region.
