A bit about

New Zealand 2011

The New Zealand 2011 Office (NZ 2011) is part of the Ministry of Economic Development and works closely with RNZ 2011 Ltd – the Rugby World Cup Tournament organisers. The Office is responsible for delivering the Government’s leverage plans for 2011, and its focus areas include the coordination of a nationwide festival, and a business engagement programme involving the NZ 2011 Business Club, a sector showcasing programme and the NZ 2011 Government Ambassadors Programme.

The Rugby World Cup (RWC) is one of the world's premier sports events. It will be the largest sporting event ever held in New Zealand and as such, the potential short‐term and long‐term benefits to be gained from hosting it are significant.
The tournament is expected to attract over 85,000 international supporters as well as international media personnel and corporate/VIP guests. With an expected worldwide television audience of around 4 billion, New Zealand will be in the international spotlight for a substantial period of time and will have unprecedented international exposure.

The Government is determined to make the most of this opportunity to showcase everything New Zealand does well. As well as economic benefits, there are also significant social and cultural benefits to be gained from hosting an event of this scale. This will be a chance for us to showcase our Kiwi culture and hospitality. It is an opportunity to bring communities together with a shared and valued goal, and celebrate all that is special about being a New Zealander.
