Rotorua International Stadium, Rugby union venue in Westbrook, Rotorua District, New Zealand.
Rotorua International Stadium is a rugby union ground in the Rotorua District, on the North Island of New Zealand. The playing surface is natural grass, and covered stands run around the field giving spectators a clear view from most angles.
The ground opened in 1911, making it one of the oldest sports facilities in New Zealand. Over the following decades it was gradually developed to host larger events and accommodate more spectators.
The stadium is deeply tied to New Zealand rugby culture and regularly hosts local and national teams. Visitors experience the passion this sport generates in the region when fans gather to support their teams.
The stadium sits a short distance from central Rotorua and is easy to reach on foot or by car. On match days it is worth arriving early, as parking near the ground fills up quickly.
A dedicated softball field sits at the northern end of the stadium grounds, making the site usable for more than just rugby. This kind of dual-sport layout is relatively rare for a ground of this type.
