New Zealand's biggest sporting party is returning to Hamilton's FMG Stadium Waikato in January. NZ Rugby and event partner 37 South has confirmed the HSBC New Zealand Sevens will take place at FMG Stadium Waikato on January 21 and 22, after a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19.
Hamilton Mayor Paula Southgate is thrilled the event is returning to Hamilton after three successful events in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
"Our city has really embraced the HSBC New Zealand Sevens and we've done a great job in welcoming people to the city and keeping them entertained. So we're over the moon to welcome the competition back again next year."
"And of course, next year it's going to be even better with full men's and women's tournaments playing out across two fields at FMG Stadium Waikato.
"There will also be a return of festival zones, party zones, kids zones and family zones, with a fantastic food and beverage offering to top it all off," she said.
