What's on in Auckland from Monday 12 September

If you're wanting to embrace Cup Fever and get involved, then you have come to the right place. nzherald.co.nz brings you updates on what to do and where to watch the games in the main centres during the World Cup.

Things to do:

Black in Fashion
The Black in Fashion pop-up exhibition explores wearing the colour black in New Zealand. From the all black uniforms of our sports teams to that icon of Kiwiana, the black singlet, black is the colour most commonly associated with New Zealand identity.

New Zealand On Screen
New Zealand On Screen is an unparalleled showcase of Aotearoa identity as seen on screen. From Billy T to Boy, from Gloss to Goodbye Pork Pie, from Peter Snell to The Piano, Hillary to Hudson and Halls, New Zealand On Screen celebrates screen icons that embody Kiwi spirit and stories.
