Abstract

This is an evaluation report on RWC 2011 and Auckland’s role in the hosting of it. It is a largely independent report, as well as incorporating evaluations from lead agencies.

Overall this evaluation is very favourable and commends the efforts of the multiple agencies involved in the hosting of 15 matches in Auckland over the six weeks. Almost 750,000 fans attended matches at the two Auckland stadiums, Eden Park and North Harbour Stadium. RWC 2011 was a world-class experience for the estimated 107,000 domestic and international visitors who visited the city and an invaluable opportunity to establish Auckland as a desirable major events destination.
