Walk with a legend. Hear the stories behind the history.
Eden Park is launching a brand-new premium stadium experience that gives sports fans the opportunity to explore New Zealand’s national stadium through the eyes of the legends who helped create its history.
The Eden Park Legends Tour combines exclusive behind-the-scenes access with personal stories, memories and experiences that you won’t find in the record books.
Rather than simply walking through the stadium, guests will experience Eden Park alongside someone who has a unique connection to the moments that have made it famous.
What is the Eden Park Legends Tour?
The Eden Park Legends Tour is a new premium stadium experience where guests are hosted by an Eden Park legend and given a personal insight into the stadium’s history.
Each tour will feature a different host, from sporting greats past and present to commentators and other iconic figures who have a special connection to Eden Park.
That means every Legends Tour will offer something different, with guests hearing first-hand stories and personal memories from the people who were there.
It’s a chance to see Eden Park from a completely different perspective.
The inaugural Legends Tour with Keven Mealamu
The first Eden Park Legends Tour will be hosted by All Blacks great Keven Mealamu on Saturday 3 October at 3.30pm.
A two-time Rugby World Cup winner, Mealamu has a remarkable connection with Eden Park and has experienced some of the stadium’s biggest rugby moments from the field.
During this intimate stadium experience, guests will join Keven as he shares personal memories, untold stories and experiences from his career.
From the atmosphere of playing at New Zealand’s national stadium to the moments that have stayed with him throughout his career, the Legends Tour provides an opportunity to hear Eden Park’s history directly from someone who helped make it.
Experience Eden Park through the eyes of a legend
Eden Park has been the stage for more than a century of sporting history, from legendary rugby matches to unforgettable celebrations.
But the statistics, scoreboards and history books only tell part of the story.
The Legends Tour is about discovering what happened behind those moments — the experiences, emotions and stories that only the people who were there can share.
As Eden Park Chief Executive Nick Sautner explains:
“Eden Park has been the stage for more than a century of unforgettable moments, but behind every one of those moments are stories that only the people who were there can tell.”
The Legends Tour brings those stories to life, offering a more personal way to discover the stadium.
More than a traditional Eden Park stadium tour
Eden Park’s traditional Stadium Tour already gives visitors the opportunity to explore behind the scenes of New Zealand’s national stadium.
The Legends Tour takes that experience a step further by putting a familiar face at the heart of the journey.
Instead of simply learning about Eden Park’s history, guests can hear directly from someone who was part of it.
With a different host for each tour, the experience will evolve over time, giving sports fans new reasons to return and discover another side of Eden Park.
A Father’s Day gift he’ll never forget
Looking for a Father’s Day gift for a sports-loving Dad? The Eden Park Legends Tour offers something a little different from the usual present — an experience he can enjoy and remember.
With the inaugural tour hosted by All Blacks great Keven Mealamu, it’s an opportunity to give Dad more than a trip to the stadium. He’ll be able to walk through Eden Park, hear personal stories from one of New Zealand rugby’s greats and discover the stadium through the eyes of someone who has helped create its history.
For rugby fans, it’s a chance to get closer to the game, the stadium and the stories behind some of its most memorable moments.
And because the Legends Tour is a premium, limited experience with different legends set to host future tours, it could make a particularly memorable Father’s Day experience gift in Auckland.
Why the Legends Tour makes a great Father’s Day gift
- It’s an experience, not just a present – give Dad a memory he can take away with him.
- Perfect for sports fans – especially rugby fans with a connection to Eden Park.
- Meet a rugby legend – the inaugural tour is hosted by two-time Rugby World Cup winner Keven Mealamu.
