The site of Waikato Stadium has been the home of Rugby in Waikato since Rugby Park first opened on the site in 1925.
In 1956, Waikato beat South Africa's Springboks 14-10 in front of an ecstatic crowd of 31,000. This remains one of the most memorable events held on the ground, being the first New Zealand provincial team to beat a touring Springboks side.
Waikato Stadium has hosted an international Rugby event every year since it opened in 2002. The facility is world class, in fact the standard is so good that it is regularly rated by the New Zealand Rugby Union as the test venue of the year. Not bad when you consider how passionate the Kiwis are about Rugby.
