Team Bases
Rugby New Zealand 2011 is committed to spreading Rugby World Cup 2011 around New Zealand, to give as many communities as is reasonably possible the chance to experience the excitement of the Tournament, and through this, to truly bring to life New Zealand’s “Stadium of Four Million”.
In addition to the 11 Host Cities, teams will also be hosted across the country by a further 13 centres.
For a full break down of team bases including dates, please refer to this document: Team Bases by centre.
