About Eden Park
Eden Park in Auckland is New Zealand’s largest stadium and a long-standing host of international cricket. A multi-purpose venue shared with rugby, it has a distinctive shape that creates some of the shortest straight boundaries in world cricket.
Those short straight boundaries have made Eden Park the scene of huge hitting and high scores in the white-ball formats, while its unusual dimensions add a tactical twist for captains and bowlers.
The ground has hosted World Cup matches across formats and remains a key venue on New Zealand’s international roster.
