About Sky Stadium

Sky Stadium, which is also commonly referred to as The Cake Tin or Wellington Regional Stadium, is one of the finest rugby stadiums in the world. Located in Wellington, NZ, it’s the home of the Wellington Lions in the Bunnings NPC and the Hurricanes in Super Rugby. It also regularly hosts All Blacks games. Sky Stadium was inducted into the RugbyPass Hall of Fame in 2021.

Sky Stadium was built in 1999 in order to replace Athletic Park and the Basin Reserve Ground, which had both been deemed inadequate for hosting international fixtures.

Although it’s a multi-purpose stadium, Sky Stadium is primarily used to host Wellington Lions, Hurricanes and All Blacks matches. However, it’s also the home of Wellington Phoenix FC and acts as a major home venue for the New Zealand national football team, the All Whites. On top of this, in summer, Sky Stadium also hosts international and domestic cricket matches.
