Super Round 2026 | Super Rugby Pacific
For the first time ever, Super Rugby Pacific’s Super Round is coming to Ōtautahi Christchurch — from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 April 2026. This blockbuster weekend will also be the first major sporting showcase at the brand-new One New Zealand Stadium.
Across three action-packed days, 10 teams will face off in five high-stakes matches. The Crusaders open on Friday night, followed by massive Anzac Day clashes on Saturday — including the Hurricanes vs ACT Brumbies for the Captain Shout Cup and the Blues vs Queensland Reds for the Sellars Dixon Medal. The weekend closes with an electrifying Sunday double-header.
Alongside world-class rugby, fans can enjoy live music, family entertainment, and a buzzing festival atmosphere — all under the roof of Christchurch’s new 25,000-seat stadium.
