In 1992, a new star rose on Auckland’s North Shore. Eventfinda Stadium, originally the North Shore Events Centre, opened its doors. This wasn’t just another building. It was a promise of excitement, a hub for everything from heart-stopping basketball games to electrifying concerts. Eventfinda Stadium has a capacity of 4,179. It has become a beloved venue for locals and visitors alike. The roar of the crowd at a New Zealand Breakers game echoed through the stadium for years. The Breakers called Eventfinda Stadium home from 2003 to 2019. Now, the Auckland Tuatara carry on that legacy, dribbling their way across the same court. But Eventfinda Stadium isn’t just about basketball. Imagine the clash of gloves, the grunts of effort during boxing matches. In 2014, the stadium hosted a legendary fight. Kali Meehan and Shane Cameron battled for the WBA Pan African Heavyweight Title. The tension was palpable, the energy electric. Beyond sports, Eventfinda Stadium has hosted a diverse array of events. From expos showcasing the latest innovations to trade shows bustling with deals. From conferences filled with intellectual exchange to the vibrant rhythm of cheerleading competitions. Even the graceful movements of dance performances find a home here. The stage has trembled under the weight of rock legends. Bob Dylan, Sting, Macy Gray, and Green Day have all graced Eventfinda Stadium with their presence. Their music, once carried on radio waves, filled the arena, creating an unforgettable experience for thousands. In 2009, the world’s best young basketball players descended upon Eventfinda Stadium for the FIBA Under-19 World Championship. The final game was a nail-biter, with the United States narrowly defeating Greece. Eventfinda Stadium continues to evolve, embracing new forms of competition. In 2024, it marked a milestone in wheelchair rugby league history. New Zealand played its first international match against Australia at the stadium. From high-energy sporting events to captivating concerts, Eventfinda Stadium remains a vibrant heart of Auckland’s North Shore. It’s a place where memories are made, where communities come together, and where the thrill of competition and the joy of entertainment collide.
