Super Rugby Pacific Super Round and the group file.
Super Round brings all ten Super Rugby Pacific clubs to one stadium for a weekend. In 2027 it returns to One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch from Friday 2 to Sunday 4 April, with five matches. It opens with Crusaders v ACT Brumbies and closes with Hurricanes v Queensland Reds. Tickets were due to go on sale in October 2026, club members first, then a Super Round pre-sale, then the public.
- The ten clubs come from New Zealand, Australia and Fiji, so supporters from several markets arrive in one city at the same time.
- Single-day and three-day passes are planned, so a group can be built around one match or the whole weekend.
- Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island, so the weekend works as the start or end of a wider programme.
The stay, transport and programme around the date.
We do not sell the event. We plan the accommodation, the transfers and the days either side so a group can attend without the logistics becoming the story.
- Accommodation sourced in central Christchurch, with release dates agreed at quotation
- Coach and private transfers between the hotel, the stadium and Christchurch Airport
- South Island onward routing by coach, rail or self-drive, including a TranzAlpine day
- A programme around the matches: Akaroa, the Canterbury Plains and the city’s riverside
Basing decides the file.
Central Christchurch keeps a group within reach of the stadium and the city’s restaurants. Confirm the hotel category, transfer times and match-day access at quotation.
When to start.
Start as soon as the group is known. Match tickets are sold by Super Rugby Pacific, so hold rooms and transport first and match names to the pre-sale windows.
