The biggest names in the darts world are coming to New Zealand.

The Professional Darts Corporation has announced it's bringing an event to Trusts Arena in west Auckland in the last weekend of August.

PDC chief executive Matthew Porter says they're bringing the kitchen sink to New Zealand.

Porter says the likes of 16-time champion Phil Taylor, world number one Michael van Gerwen and reigning world champ Gary Anderson will all be coming to town.

Matthew Porter expects they'll be able to fit 5000 fans into Trusts Arena.

"We want to fill the Trusts Arena, make it a fantastic atmosphere, and all three nights too. We want it to look good on TV around the world and everybody has the chance to see some of the best darts players in the world."

Tickets will go on sale next month.
