2024 Pacific Championships
The Pacific Championship is back in Aotearoa!
Two match days are confirmed to take place in New Zealand, with Ōtautahi Christchurch's Apollo Projects Stadium set to host a double header between the Kiwis, Kiwi Ferns, and rival Australian men's and women's teams on Sunday 27 October.
This will mark the Kiwis' return to Christchurch for the first time in five years and the Kiwi Ferns' first South Island Test since 1998.
The Kiwis will then face Tonga at Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland's Go Media Stadium on Saturday 2 November.
"It is a very special occasion to partner with Ōtautahi Christchurch and work with Canterbury Rugby League to take the Pacific Championships to our fans in the South Island for the first international fixtures there in five years," says NZRL CEO Greg Peters.
“We're excited to work with Tonga to bring their rugby league heroes back to play in front of their proud community in Auckland, with the support of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited making this possible.
"International rugby league in Aotearoa creates celebrations of culture and passion that captures the hearts and minds of all sports fans, the Tests here will be unmissable."
Both teams head into this year's international season on a high having convincingly defeated rivals Australia in their final matches last year. The thrilling games saw the Kiwis lift the Pacific Championship's Pacific Cup in its inaugural year, with the Kiwi Ferns ending Australia's seven-year streak of wins against them.
